1. Learning Management System (LMS)
The learners logging onto the system will have access to:
- An account which allows access to the system,
- Full induction on how the course works and how to access all available resources,

You can receive reports from the system detailing:

- Attendance at the live tutorial sessions,
- Access to the program so that there is full transparency in relation to the learning our learners are undertaking.
Other course providers tend to not offer continued support to their learners. The narration and transcription attached to the slideshows give independence to learners to listen to the training online.
