ABOUT eLEARNING
How long does it take to complete the eLearning course?
Once I’ve started a module do I have to complete it in one sitting?
The Safeguarding eLearning Course is split into three modules, each being approximately 20 minutes in length.
Once you click to begin a module, you have to complete it in one sitting as with any exam.
However, you do not need to take all three modules at the same time, so you can complete these over a number of days if you prefer.
Only when you have successfully completed all three modules and passed the 10 question knowledge check at the end of the Module 3 will you receive your certificate.
How much does the eLearning course cost?
Are there any IT requirements in order to complete the modules?
You will need a fast broadband connection to run the video content. Without this it will take longer to load but should still work.
You will also need an up-to-date web browser that supports HTML5 such as; Internet Explorer Version 11 or higher, Firefox Version 40 or above, Google Chrome version 35 or Safari version 8 or higher.
Can I use my mobile phone or tablet to complete the learning?
The learning is compatible with mobile phones and tablets but due to the use of videos in the course it will work better when completed using a laptop or desk top.
How do I get my certificate?
Your certificate can be downloaded and printed once you have passed the course.

What happens if I fail the course?
If you fail three times, you are sent to a page where you can pay again to retake the course.
Because the questions are different each time, you will have to go through the course again.
Once I've paid for the course how do I begin?
Once you have registered and paid for the course you will receive two emails; a receipt of payment and a link to the eLearning portal. (Please note that these emails may sometimes go into your junk mail folder).
To being the course follow the link in the email to the portal.
If you do not receive the email but have paid for the course please access the portal by clicking here and entering your email address.
