March course announcements round up

After a busy month for the production team we have seen a number of course releases, from updates to brand new courses. This month also saw our very first text-based course go live, to give our users an enhanced library and fulfil learning in areas that do not require a video format. While we still plan to provide engaging, video-based content for the majority of our training courses, this new format provides an alternative learning experience when appropriate for the length and subject. All of our courses provide a course certificate on completion, which is often preceded by a multiple choice test to ensure learning objectives have been met. Find out about our recently released courses below…

Legionella Awareness

This course has received a new look, in terms of refreshed visuals and a revised script.

Liberty Protection Safeguards (to replace DoLS)

Our new Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) course has currently been put on hold due to a last minute update from the government saying that the new LPS legislation is not coming into effect in April as planned. A consultation period is currently underway before the LPS regulations are implemented, and we will ensure our LPS course is fully updated and accurate before we launch it in the summer.
