3. Certificate notice:
If you are working towards your Enhanced Certificate (working with children, young people and adults), you need to submit your documents FIRST before you can gain access to the Pre-Learning material. There is a hard deadline for submissions, to enable you to complete the Pre-Learning ahead of your first live session.Â

You will NOT be able to access the Pre-Learning material before you have submitted your documents.Â
If you selected Core Certificate (working with adults only), you can ignore this message – you don’t need to submit anything.Â
