About The Course
Annual Certificate in Teaching Online Safety in Early Years (International Schools)
Course Duration: 54m (approx) online training + self-directed learning and activities + final assessment.
All children in early years should be taught about online safety as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. An effective whole school or college approach to online safety protects and educates pupils in their use of technology and establishes mechanisms to identify, intervene in, and escalate any concerns where appropriate.
Our annual certificate in how to teach online safety provides you with the knowledge and skills you need to feel confident and empowered to help keep children safe online.
Split into bite-sized modules, the training has been designed to provide maximum learning potential in the leanest, most cost-effective and most time-efficient manner. It has been produced in high-quality remote video CPD format which is accessible on any device, any time, anywhere.
Developed by Heather Cardwell, experienced online safety lead and senior school leader, the course is split into six modules. The course consists of learning through video modules, completion of tasks, further reading and viewing external resources. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process and complete all relevant activities to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
