Fully online and self-paced
Learners work through the course at their own pace and can pause and resume where they left off.
Any device
Works on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile, with audio, video and written transcripts throughout.
Interactive throughout
Scenarios, exercises and images keep learners engaged rather than clicking through slides.
Knowledge checks
Short checks at the end of each section so learners can see what has landed before moving on.
Average completion time is around 8 hours, though learners can take as long as they need and return as often as they like.
How it is assessed
Interactive knowledge checks run throughout each unit. The regulated qualification is awarded on successful completion of an externally set examination, which can be sat with a recognised training centre or at home using remote invigilation. We can arrange the exam booking for you.
