BEFORE YOU ENROL

A few useful answers.

Need help choosing a course or accessing the learning?

Contact the Training Centre
Construction professionals discussing information before a taskSupport before and during your learning.
Are all 44 courses ACQP CPD Accredited?

Yes. All 44 courses listed here are accredited under the ACQP CPD Accreditation Scheme. Keep your certificate as evidence of learning and record your actual learning time in your CPD record. Follow any recording requirements set by your employer or professional body.

What does the £15.00 include?

Each course includes 12 modules, images and diagrams, knowledge checks, assessment retakes, printable learning resources and a PDF certificate after passing. £15.00 is the total price. There is no subscription or additional certificate charge.

Can I learn on my phone and come back later?

Yes. Use a phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection. Completed module progress is saved to your course account. Allow approximately 90–150 minutes, depending on the course and your pace. Each course card shows its estimated duration. You have at least 12 months of access after payment.

What happens if I do not pass first time?

You receive feedback and can revisit the learning before trying again. Assessment retakes are included, with up to 10 attempts in any 24-hour period. The pass mark is at least 20 correct answers out of 24.

Are these NOCN qualifications?

ACQP Training Centre is an NOCN Approved Centre, number 30004857. The courses in this collection are ACQP CPD Accredited courses with certificates issued by ACQP. They are not NOCN qualifications; centre approval and ACQP CPD accreditation are separate.

Does the training prove practical competence?

The courses assess knowledge online. Practical competence is not assessed. Employers must arrange relevant task-specific instruction, practical training, supervision and authorisation. Confined Space Safety does not qualify or authorise entry, atmosphere testing, breathing-apparatus use, permit issuing or rescue. Fire Safety Awareness covers general worker awareness. Fire Marshal covers the knowledge behind assigned duties; it does not appoint you to a site role or assess practical firefighting skills. Harness Awareness does not authorise harness use or rescue work, and Asbestos Awareness does not qualify you to sample, remove or otherwise work on asbestos-containing materials.

LOLER, PUWER and Abrasive Wheels Safety provide awareness; they do not qualify you as an equipment operator, slinger/signaller, appointed person, thorough-examination competent person or wheel mounter. Equipment-specific practical training, assessment and employer authorisation remain necessary.

Can I use one account for all 44 courses?

Use the shared learner sign-in to return to your courses. Once your email address is verified, your active course registrations with that email appear together in My Learning. Each course still needs its own enrolment.
