Course outline

We use a fast-track approach which often yields greater pass rates than traditional, longer programmes. The course consists of 10 x full-day tutorial sessions over a 2-3 week period, perfectly timed for the national exams in June, and December. The 10th day will be a full day of revision to help you to prepare for the exam the following week. Your trainer will teach the first 2-days face-to-face at our training centre, and the following 8 sessions will be delivered live online via Zoom.

It is important to note that during the training programme, delegates should be prepared to carry out self-study and homework each evening to review the course content of the day. We have a variety of revision aids to help you consolidate your learning.

This modern qualification combines activities, learning and interactive materials to provide you with an interesting and engaging experience. It focuses on key skills that means you can instantly apply the knowledge you gain and add value to your organisation.
