What is a Blended option?

Blended offers a combination of e-learning and practical course delivery within the training centre. 

The delivery of the theory (classroom based) elements of the course will be conducted by participants completing compulsory e-learning prior to attending the training centre to complete the practical training elements. Although the total learning time remains the same, conducting the training this way allows delegates to conduct the theory based learning at a time and location

Delegates will be enrolled to their e-learning approximately 3 weeks prior to the chosen practical training date to the email address provided.
