How to choose where to start

  1. Pick a family

    Start from the work you do now, or the work you want to do.

  2. Take the first unit

    Most families start with a short unit of 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Check the fit

    A coach or our learner support desk can suggest your next unit.

  4. Follow a pathway

    Units stack in order, so each one builds on the last.

A unit shows in a language only after a native speaker has checked it. Units open as they pass review; members see the open ones in My Learning. Hands-on units run only on a de-energised training rig with a qualified supervisor present. Units name the standards they follow, never a maker.
