The decision they practise
In “The interruption”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “Two presentations” and “Alison’s next board paper”.
How you know they finished
The 12-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
Relevant legislation and guidance
The course draws on these. Which ones apply depends on the organisation and the role. Finishing the course is a training record.
