How the qualification is assessed:

The system uses modules to break down the teaching process into manageable chunks. The course is broken into sections which the user can either navigate through on a page by page basis or they can use the module menu to access a specific part of the course. The user’s progress is tracked and recorded at every step so nothing is lost; even a 10 minute sitting at the course counts towards the overall qualification.

It causes us great distress when we see our competitors produce low budget e-learning courses, which are basically ‘PowerPoints on screen’. The result for the students is that they do not enjoy the training and it invariably leads to a very poor uptake and low success rate. By replacing page after page of boring text with interactive and fun exercises, Highfield have created a highly effective training tool that maximises understanding of the subject.
