Each module lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours and includes a short test of understanding at the end. While all 10 modules must be passed to obtain the toolkit certificate, each module is designed as a standalone course, ensuring you can focus on the areas most relevant to your role.
Each module is priced at £150 and is available for individual purchase. However, if you opt for the complete toolkit, you'll enjoy a special discounted price of £1,200.
If you are interested in incorporating this toolkit as part of your wider CPD programme for staff, please get in touch to discuss your requirements and discounted rates.
