ProTranings is a Trade Body for our First Aid courses. It certifies our courses and provides the multiple choice question paperwork.
Current practice:
- Pre-course
- 4 Minutes Books you for a course – Booking letter emailed out
- We send out a pack with manuals, assessment and learner paperwork. If you already have a float, we send enough to top you up.
- We add the learners to the course ready for the online MCQs if at all possible.
- Course day
- You deliver the course, using the online MCQs where possible.
- You may need to add / edit delete some (or even all) learners on the day (see here for notes on how to do this)
- If some, or all learners cannot take the test online you will have to issue paper copies, then hand mark them & email them to 4 Minutes with the rest of the course paperwork. If any learner does not pass the online / paper test you need to go through the answers with them via your ProTrainings Dashboard, then reset it so they can retake the test
- If any fail, explain why to them and complete a Professional Discussion sheet. Scan & upload it with the rest of the paperwork post-course.
- Post-course
- You email PDF scans of all completed paperwork back to us
- We IQA it, upload to ProTrainings and issue the Certificates for those that passed to the client
- You can destroy any physical paperwork once we advise you that IQA is good
- You invoice us for the course delivery and once all paperwork is correct, invoice will be paid within 7 days
Procedure from 1st October 2023
- Pre-course
- 4 Minutes Books you for a course – Booking letter emailed out along with details (course ID, Centre ID) for the course assessment paperwork
- We send out manuals only. If you already have a float, we send enough to top you up
- We add the learners to the course ready for the online MCQs if at all possible.
- You print out the course paperwork needed. Fill in the Course paperwork – Client, venue, your name. Include Course ID (supplied by us on your Booking confirmation, or you can get it from your dashboard) and 4 Minute’s centre no (91108)
- Course day
- As before
- Post-course
- You scan all completed paperwork to PDF and upload directly to the ‘Course paperwork’ section for that course on your ProTrainings dashboard, rather than emailing to us. Let us know when done.
- We IQA it and issue the Certificates for those that passed to the client.
- You can destroy any physical paperwork once we advise you that IQA is good.
- You invoice us for the course delivery plus £10 for the printing costs and any learner editing on the day. As long as we are happy with the paperwork IQA, invoice will be paid within 7 days
Advantages
- The only posting needed is for additional manuals to go out to you, so you do not have any return costs
- The online MCQs save you all the time of marking and feeding back during a course
- More environmentally friendly – if you print and keep a float of course forms, none will go to waste if (say) we send out 12 sets and you only use 7
