Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH): FAST TRACK

Course goal: This course provides learners with an awareness of the COSHH regulations, and how they control work with hazardous substances.


FAST TRACK is a learning method which provides you with bespoke learning content by identifying any knowledge gaps you may have in a particular subject area.

FAST TRACK is a pre-assessment learning tool which is designed to assess your existing knowledge of a particular subject area. The pre-assessment uses a pool of questions to test your current knowledge. The results of this assessment help identify your personal knowledge gaps. FAST TRACK then automatically creates a bespoke course to address these knowledge gaps.
