LG Training packages are accredited courses for trainers to use in the training of their candidates. Upon purchase it gives the purchaser the rites to deliver this package. This is not a Train the Trainer course as we take it that you are already a trainer. We also do not give you any practical assistance with any of your practical delivery on the equipment you use as we take it you are familiar with using your own equipment. Once you as the trainer have submitted a completed answer sheet to us we will issue you with a certificate to say you are permitted to deliver this accredited course. Any accredited certificates for your candidates must be issued from our accreditation centre at £10 per certificate.

This being said, we do give practical training on your equipment if you desire it but this is for an extra charge. We will send you the Trainers certificate when you submit the answers to the questions. We understand that you have the marking template but as a trainer you will probably want to work through the questions yourself so you know the course well, we do not charge for your Trainer's certificate
