What you owe, and when
The shape of the reporting calendar: the obligations that arrive on a date, the ones that arrive when something happens, and the ones that arrive because the supervisor asked.
- The video of every lesson, and the word-for-word transcript beside it
- Every claim linked to its primary source, with a source register per lesson
- An assessment for each of the 6 modules, and an end-of-course assessment
- A printable certificate carrying your name, the date and the content version
- The downloadable artefacts and one page references for this course
Expensing it? The invoice can be made out to your firm, with its VAT number and your purchase order reference. Buying for several people: seats for a team.
The narrated video runs about 45 minutes across the 18 lessons. That is short on purpose: no filler and no reading out of the law, with the work in the transcripts, the sources, the assessments and the artefacts.
