How is the course delivered?
Return to Work COVID-19 Awareness can be delivered online or through a computer network to each trainee at their desktop or laptop or a device that has internet connectivity. The training can be completed at the employee’s own pace by ‘book marking’ and recording progress and returning to the training at a later stage.
In delivering the training in this way the normal costs of training are reduced and of course, it meets social distancing guidelines whilst still achieving the desired awareness and compliance with the organisation’s legal responsibilities. At the conclusion of the training, the trainee will complete an end assessment.
