HAVING PROBLEMS with online work completion ? The most common problem that we find students have from an IT point of view with the online learning packages is “browser” related. We recommend you use “chrome” as your browser and we highly recommend that you clear the cache before commencing. This requires you to go to the top right of your browser ( 3 little dots ) and select “more tools” and then “clear browsing data” selecting all 3 options ( Browsing history, cookies and cached images). If you have any further issues please contact us directly.

Assessment requirements

We normally use online assessments via the student Learner Portal for this unit. A smart phone or laptop, fully charged with internet access is generally required. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure they have such a device and have gained prior access to their Learner Portal. Information on accessing their portal is available on their Confirmation email

There is some theory and practical assessment to ensure that the participant has gained the required knowledge and confidence in the skills covered in the unit. You will be required, as per the Training Package, to complete 2 mins of CPR on a CPR manikin on the floor. Participants will also be required to demonstrate various practical skills including application of slings etc

Participants will not be able to attend the face-t0-face course if the online learning modules are not completed – a cancellation fee will apply if you are unable due to non-completion of the pre-course work.
