Please familiarise yourself with the course instructions below:

  1. An internet/WIFI connection is required – broadband wired or wireless. A 4G or 5G data signal is NOT suitable as signal coverage can drop and affect the recording of your course completion. We would also recommend you complete this course on a PC or laptop as there can be compatibility issues with some older models of smartphones.
  2. Should you launch the course, get distracted and return to it sometime later, please ensure you exit, log out and back in again and relaunch it. We advise this in case the system timed out while you stepped away, which would result in the system not recording your course completion.
