The network is based on a huge range of CPD certified online courses.
They are the principal reason our members use the Network. The courses improve a Champion’s own digital skills and confidence and teaches them how to help a wide range of learners.
When you sign-up to the Network, you can pick and choose the training that’s right for your project and your Champions. You can also try a course for free to see what it's like.
The interactive, bite-sized e-learning takes from five minutes to 60 minutes. It includes practical and reflective exercises, videos and case studies. Courses can be stopped and started at any time and each comes with a certificate of achievement and a Digital Badge.
Our courses are certified by The CPD Certification Service, meeting the universally accepted principles of Continual Professional Development. So you know your Digital Champions are getting good quality training.
