DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Spectrum Courses allows individual users (predominantly from industries that involve safeguarding), to access online training courses that are relevant to their current profession or that they take an interest in. It allows specific third parties (including but not limited to local authorities and taxi firms) to purchase courses in bulk and distribute to their employees or other people they wish to undertake the service.

We reserve the right to refuse to provide the service to any person for any reason and/or to discontinue the service in whole or in part at any time, with or without prior notice.

Each course user will be issued a unique reference number to ensure only one user can be connected to each course. This unique reference number will be theirs to quote after training to show that they have successfully completed a Spectrum course. Companies, including local authorities, may use this unique reference number to check that an employee has completed and successfully passed a course.

Spectrum Courses is an accredited training company through CPD UK. Independent assessors from CPD UK scrutinise every course before it is published.
