Your legal duty
The law behind this training
This eLearning course covers the learning outcomes of the CITB Developing Yourself as a Team Leader 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: stepping up means your job is no longer only your own work. It is the work, safety and development of your team, and knowing when a decision is yours and when it must go higher.

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
