Course Overview
Infection Prevention and Control Level 2 builds on your understanding of the key concepts introduced in Level 1. This advanced course delves deeper into your clinical responsibilities as a healthcare professional, and will elevate your understanding of related components, such as risk assessments, hand hygiene, decontamination, waste disposal and PPE.
Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to implement Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs) and expand your arsenal to break the chain of infection in healthcare environments. By the end of this course, you’ll be empowered to safeguard against infections with confidence and precision.
With healthcare staff often expected to complete training on an annual basis there will be topics you will be more familiar with than others. Our self assessment tool, which is at the start of each course, will allow you to test your knowledge to see if you would like to complete the training or progress straight to the end of course test.
At the end of this infection prevention and control level 2 course, you will need to complete a test that consists of multiple choice questions. Learners are required to achieve an 80% pass mark, and – if necessary – may attempt the test six times at no extra cost. If learners do not achieve the pass mark, further attempts may be given by contacting our support team.
The level 2 infection prevention and control course is fully interactive and is packed with various multimedia forms including video, animation and custom graphics to give you the best learning experience.
Each element of the training is WCAG 2.2 accessible and includes scenarios, contextualised activities, reflective activities, knowledge checks, bite sized lessons and so much more.
