This week marked a great sense of personal satisfaction. The first of many candidates came through the doors of Bolton College to undertake the #ASHP City & Guilds course. Resources designed by #HallEdu fully prepared the candidates to undertake the qualification and so much more.

Knowledge delivery

Front cover of the knowledge delivery

The knowledge has been designed to cover all five learning outcomes from unit 301. Additional value is embedded within the delivery too. The delivery includes embedded knowledge checks. A classroom pack is issued to each candidate to follow through during the delivery. QR codes are provided for all the candidates to undertake checks on learning at every step of the delivery. This gives the candidate a sense of comfort. They feel confident in the knowledge they are developing during the course.
