This course is designed to help trainers and health & safety professionals build the confidence and competence to deliver infection control training across a wide range of settings — including healthcare, childcare, hospitality, cleaning, and office-based environments.
Learners will develop a solid understanding of infection types, modes of transmission, and control measures. The course also covers legislation, HSE guidance, and best practice in hand hygiene, PPE use, and environmental cleaning. You’ll receive a complete instructor pack, including editable PowerPoint slides, manuals, and learner assessments, to support your training delivery.
