Features of the service
Our online courses provide users with several hours CPD each in short topic-based modules. Self tests and quizzes are included to aid in the learning process and users may download a set of course notes to keep.  Users can bookmark a course if they have to log off, and may return to that page later to resume their study.

Certificates and training records
A CPD certificate is automatically generated on successful completion of each module and may be printed out if required. A useful additional feature of the service is that records of all courses completed are available online so a subscriber can have full access to their training records. Where local authorities subscribe to the service, the nominated manager will have access to the training records and CPD certificates of all of his/her staff.
