What your team takes away

• 12 lessons, 60 to 75 minutes. Short enough to finish in a sitting without disrupting the working day.
• Built from current guidance and written for the role rather than the theory, so it can be applied straight away.
• Interactive throughout, with a multiple choice assessment at the end. A certificate carrying its own reference number is issued on passing, and it can be verified online at any time.

How it runs

The course opens in a browser on a phone, a tablet or a desktop, with nothing to install. Progress is saved as it goes, so someone can stop and pick it back up. The assessment sits at the end, and passing it issues a certificate with its own reference number that an inspector or an auditor can check.

Who it is for
