The decision they practise
In “The man with the toolbox”, 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 “Does it prove they belong?” and “Two versions of Monday morning”.
How you know they finished
The 11-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.
- UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
- Computer Misuse Act 1990
