Certificate in Infection Prevention and Control for Education Providers

All schools have a duty to comply with their legal requirements for the prevention and control of infection falling under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and its associated regulations. It is crucial that your staff can recognise, follow and implement the correct procedures to prevent or control infection, particularly with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Developed by Samantha Kendall, qualified emergency medical technician, this Essential CPD course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to ensure you are equipped to prevent and limit the spread of infection and illness in the workplace and understand the importance of maintaining hygiene standards at work. 

Please note: This course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
