Course Introduction
This highly interactive and engaging e-learning course focuses on the topic of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM Training), which form a key part of the United Kingdom’s health and safety legislation for the construction industry. These regulations set out how construction projects must be planned, managed, and coordinated to ensure the safety and welfare of everyone involved, from the initial design stage through to completion.
The course aims to help learners gain a clear understanding of CDM principles, duty holder responsibilities, and compliance requirements. By exploring practical examples, documentation standards, and real-world scenarios, participants will learn how to plan and deliver safer construction projects, reduce risk, and ensure full compliance with legal obligations under CDM.
The e-learning can be provided as SCORM files, or on a subscription basis, whether hosted on your own Learning Management System, or using our, feature-rich, easy-to-use learning platform.
