Ladder Awareness (VTQ)

This Ladder Awareness course provides essential guidance on the safe use of ladders and step ladders.

The course explains when ladders are appropriate to use and when alternative access equipment should be considered.

How It Works:

1. We sell access keycodes to online training courses up to 25% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal
• Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
• A PDF of what to do next

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/firstaid4less. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form.
5. If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in.
6. Once you have signed up on the online training portal, all administration including progress tracking, certificates and access to materials is stored within your learner login.
7. All learners have ongoing access to training materials after completion of the course for several months, with the option of weekly refresher emails.
