Your legal duty
The law behind this training
This eLearning course covers the learning outcomes of the CITB standard Understanding training and coaching in construction. 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. It does not qualify you to assess vocational qualifications.
One thing to be clear about: training someone on site is not just showing them once. It means explaining, demonstrating, letting them practise under supervision, and checking they can do it safely before they work on their own.
- 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
Training and Coaching on Site: common questions

Yes. Each lesson ends with short knowledge checks, then there is a 12-question assessment with a pass mark of 70% (9 of 12). You can retake it as often as you need.
