The Infection Control e-Learning course has been developed by leading experts accredited by a certification body. It aims to ensure the protection of those who might be vulnerable to acquiring an infection. It is an essential requirement for any business where work activities could put employees or their customers at risk of passing on or contracting an infection. In light of the Covid-19 Pandemic, this Infection Control Training has never been so necessary. The principle of hand washing and social distancing is still recognized as the best way to prevent the spread of any disease.

Who this course is aimed at? Employees likely to be exposed to a higher risk of infection include those working in a healthcare environment, in close contact with people or animals, cleaning human and animal waste, hospitality sectors and those working with young children particularly in preschools or school settings. Infections are quickly passed on, but equally easy to avoid if everyone on the premises takes proper preventative action.

Course objectives: This Infection Control e-Learning course will start by defining infection, prevention and control and explaining the impact of good and bad infection control. It then goes into detail about, the legislation that applies to infection control, the different types of microorganisms, how bacteria are transmitted, the chain of infection, and much more.
