How the course runs

  1. Enrol and access the course online
    After booking, you'll receive instant access to the online learning platform. The course is organised into clear modules, start immediately and return at any time. No software to install and no fixed schedule to follow.

  2. Work through the modules at your own pace
    Each module builds on the last, starting with why risk assessment matters and the legal framework, before moving into hazard identification, evaluation, prioritisation, and the step-by-step process for conducting assessments. Most learners complete the course in one to three hours.

  3. Complete activities and assessment throughout
    Integrated activities and knowledge checks reinforce your understanding as you go, there's no separate exam to prepare for. Assessment is built into the learning experience.

  4. Receive your CPD certificate on completion
    Once all modules and assessments are completed, your CPD-certified certificate is issued automatically, worth 4 CPD credits and valid for three years from the date of completion.
