What your team takes away

• 11 lessons, 55 to 70 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

Anyone working in Early Years, as part of Health and Safety and CPD.
