How it works
Beginning with Module 1, read through each module carefully, and at your own pace, ensuring that you have understood and absorbed its content. On completing a module, you will attempt to answer the corresponding questionnaire for that module.

Each questionnaire is presented in a multiple-choice format; simply select the answer you believe is correct and click on the ‘Next’ button to continue onto the next question.

Your score for each questionnaire appears as soon as you have completed the last question. You need to achieve an overall pass rate of 70% to obtain a certificate of completion.

You have 1 attempt to pass each questionnaire; if you fail to reach an overall pass rate of 70% you will need to repeat the programme again (at an extra cost to you) to receive your course certificate.

To complete the online course, you must work through all the modules (i.e. open each page), as well as attain the pass criteria for the online course.
You may exit the programme and return later at any point in any of the modules. All you need to do is log back into your account and go to "order history" and click 'resume' and you will automatically be returned to the place you left off. You can only log out and return later when in a module, you can't log out during the questionnaire at the end of each module.

On completion / Passing of the programme, you will be able to return to your account and download and then print your course certificate automatically you will also be sent an email confirming your pass or failure status, along with appropriate instructions as to what to do next.
