The best alternative to finding cures to illness is prevention and limiting the spread of diseases. Everybody has responsibility to do this, but this is particularly important in certain professions such as for healthcare and food workers. It is relevant and important to have knowledge of antibacterial products, processes and practices.
Increasing standards required for public premises also means that many individuals will be expected to manage infection control protocols and processes within their place of employment (for example schools, pubs, restaurants and even offices).
The benefits of effective infection control are unquestionable in terms of well-being and the prevention of spread. We only have to think about influenza and threats of pandemics to realise the speed and extent of infections when they take hold. The course has 10 modules, each of which will build upon the knowledge of the previous one.
The course is divided into 10 units of study, you can read a detailed summary of each unit in the ‘Content’ section at the bottom of the page.
To help spread the cost of the course, you can opt to spread the course fees over an interest and credit check free instalment plan. To do this, select the option for instalment payment from the drop-down box above the ‘Enrol’ button.
