The format of this online supervisor training course is as follows:

The tutorial for the course is approximately 40 minutes in duration and is divided into shorter bite size sections. You can take each section at your own pace, repeating the section if required or moving forward when you are comfortable with the material covered.

Access to the course is provided via our LMS which is available 24/7. Access keys are provided via email and are valid for 20 days from date of purchase.

The course 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 first 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.

After all the tutor led sessions have been completed you can 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 summarising 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 the course.

Then, to help you convert the learning points into actions there is a post course exercise and a key learning points document for you to download.

Finally if you have any unanswered questions or require any further support to help you get the best out of the material, you can email our skilled team of trainers who are on hand to help.
