About Online Training
The Online Training Programme offers a range of courses aimed at those working with vulnerable children and young people. The courses are delivered online so that users can work at their own pace and at a convenient time. Each course is roughly equivalent to one or two day’s face-to-face training.
At the end of the course you will be provided with a certificate once the assessment quiz has been completed. It is a requirement for a pass rate of 70% to be accepted as being knowledgeable in the topic. You have three attempts at answering the questions correctly but if the final score is less than 70% it is advisable you inform your supervising social worker and to attend a face to face training course, if available. Any training with a pass rate of less than 70% will not be included towards your learning and development.
The on-line training is an alternative way of accessing training and once you have completed a course with an acceptable pass rate there is no requirement for you to attend face to face training on the same subject; unless specifically requested to do by your Supervising Social Worker.
There are 2 platforms you need to access in order to complete all online training.
