The decision they practise
In the main activities, “Build the roast beef plan” and “Rewrite Hollie’s complaint record”, learners rewrite realistic documents line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “We’re two down, I’ll be fine”, 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 “Why the first call matters”, “On inspection day” and “How enforcement escalates”.
How you know they finished
