Your legal duty
The law behind this training
This eLearning course covers the learning outcomes of the CITB Leadership and Management Practice in Construction standard. It is Acadame's own course, not the CITB standard itself, and it does not lead to a CITB certificate or qualify for CITB grant.
One thing to be clear about: management keeps the job running, and leadership takes people with you. On site you need both, every day, and health, safety and quality sit at the heart of both.
- Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974
Practicalities

Would you rather have a tutor?

For employers
Buying for a team
Buying for more than a couple of people is easier on an account: one invoice, licences you allocate as staff join, and a report of who has done what and when it expires.
- One invoice instead of one card payment per person
- Allocate licences as people join
- Completion and expiry reporting for your records
- Bespoke versions written around your own procedures
