Who is this training for?

This training is for all health educators including teachers and school nurses. e-Bug carried out a needs assessment to see how e-Bug could help educators with their delivery of health topics. The needs assessment showed that educators would benefit from an e-Bug training module. Therefore, e-Bug have created a training module for educators.

Once you have completed the training, please complete the online survey and you will receive your CPD certificate approved by the Royal Society of Biology for completing the e-Bug Training Module. If you have any questions about the training please email e-Bug@phe.gov.uk.
