About 300,000 patients develop an infection in England each year while being treated by the NHS. Protecting people from infection is an essential element of providing high quality care, especially considering the capacity some potentially life-threatening infections have to spread within care environments.

Learners will be assessed entirely online through our dedicated learning platform. All study materials, activities and assessments are provided digitally, allowing learners to work independently and at their own pace.
Throughout the course, learners will complete a series of online knowledge checks, written tasks and module assessments that demonstrate their understanding of the subject. These assessments are submitted through the platform and are marked by a dedicated assessor, who will provide feedback and support where required.
In addition to assessor support, learners can also access help from our administration team for any technical or general course queries. To contact us please email us at Independent.Learning@escg.ac.uk
The course duration is 4 months. To maintain steady progress and complete the qualification on time, we recommend that learners commit to approximately 4–6 hours of study per week. This may vary depending on individual pace and confidence.
