E-learning for Designated Individuals

The e-learning course has been designed to train DIs on the core knowledge required to carry out their statutory duties. The course is primarily aimed at DIs but it can also benefit others associated with a licence, for example, Licence Holders and Persons Designated can complete the course if they wish.

It is a standard condition of all licences that the DI completes HTA training. If a DI has not already attended one of the HTA training days, completing the e-learning course will enable them to meet this condition.

You need to enter a username and password to access the course. For DIs this is the same username and password that they used to access the online application form when they applied for a licence.

Anyone can access the course – if you do not have a username and password, please click on the link below and then cick 'I need to set up an account'.
