Each of the tutorial sessions starts with a welcome from the tutor, the course aims and how to get the best from the training.

The virtual tutor then begins the training session using visual aids to convey the key messages and supporting commentary. The commentary includes real life examples for you to relate to the subject matter covered.

You can take each tutorial at your own pace, repeating it if required or moving forward when you are comfortable with the material covered.

After each tutor led session has been completed you will then take a series of test questions which will verify your understanding of the material. Many of the questions, once answered will provide feedback and an explanation will be given to help consolidate the learning experience, resembling a real life tutor.

Next there is a summary of the key learning points of the module. This is critical as research demonstrates that sumarising at the end of a training session helps to improve the level of retention of the material covered.

You can then print off your personalised certificate to confirm you have completed each module.
