Complete this qualification as a classroom course with one of our approved instructors, or as a virtual class using our remote training platform with a real instructor or as online video training where you navigate through a variety of videos, answer questions throughout and then book an external exam to complete the online option. Gain the same regulated qualification whichever option you choose.

Option 1 - Complete a traditional classroom course through face-to-face learning

Option 2 - Complete as virtual training through Zoom or similar

Option 3 - Complete an online video e-Learning course in your time and at your own pace (must complete (1) test one and (2) test two below)

(1) Test one is built into the system and will be immediately accessible following the completion of the online e-Learning – completing this part will produce a temporary document to confirm the completion of the e-Learning course only.

(2) Test two is still completed remotely but under invigilated conditions – you must contact compliance@protrainings.uk to book your invigilated exam. Please note, your exam cannot be scheduled within 5 days of your request, so please pick a suitable time and date and allow 5 days from your request to sit your exam – completing this part will produce a request for a regulated TQUK Level 2 Health and Safety (RQF) certificate to be generated within 3-5 days (subject to a possible EQA sample which may cause delays to certification).

Successful learners who complete option 3 will be awarded a regulated digital certificate, subject to passing an online ID check with our compliance team and completing the external exam.

All successful learners who would like to be awarded a regulated certificate must complete an online exam through the awarding organisation. This exam must be scheduled 7 days prior to the date you wish to complete the test. You must contact support@protrainings.uk or compliance@protrainings.uk to schedule this exam.

This course is also subject to an ID check to prove and validate each learner that completes this training.
