ABOUT eLEARNING

How long does it take to complete the eLearning course?

The full course will take approximately 1.5 hours to complete. However the course is split into 3 modules and you can take each one individually. You will need to complete all three modules to successfully pass the learning course and receive your certificate.

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?

The course costs £12.

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 such as; Internet Explorer Version 11 or higher, Firefox Version 40 or above, Google Chrome version 35 or Safari version 8 or higher.

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?

At the end of the Safeguarding eLearning course, there is a test consisting of ten questions. The pass mark is 70%, and you get three chances to gain this grade.

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.
