Your Course Once you have logged in, please check that you have the correct course for your role.

Course Content There is a comprehensive workbook to print off and use throughout the course. The course is laid out in a modular format with tests at the end of each module. You should score at least 80% on each of the exercises before you move on to the next module. There is no limit on the number of times you that you can work through the modules.

We suggest that you also make your own notes in addition to those in the workbook; these can be used in the examination.

How long will it take to complete the Course? The amount of time taken to complete the course will depend on a number of factors, including your experience and speed of working. However, as a rough guide our Category 1 and 6 courses may take between 25 and 40 hours for someone with experience.
