ONLINE LEARNING COURSES -
LEARN FROM YOUR HOME!
Many learners are keen to spend less time in the classroom and
more time studying independently, at a time and in a place to
suit them. Our courses can be worked through on almost any
device (excluding mobile phones) - all you need is an internet
connection. Once you have enrolled, you will receive a start-up
email with a password; you can then learn at your own pace
and improve your employment prospects. (Course durations
range from 1 hour to about 8 hours).
Using Highfield e-learning as part of a blended learning
programme can mean you can achieve a recognised
qualification. This can be done by sitting an examination at a
recognised Highfield Qualifications approved centre. Courses
are noted below – course fees from as little as £10 per award.
• Asbestos Awareness • Food Safety Level 2 • Paediatric First Aid
• Care Certificate • General Data Protection • Safeguarding Children
• Communication Regulations • Self Awareness &
• COVID 19 E learning • Health & Safety Level 1 Personal Development
