hello,
Just saw the website UKVC with hundreds of online courses.
Are thet recognised by ofsted? Are they as good as the one we usually go in groups?
Is the first aid one recognised as well ( can we use it for the one we should do every 3 years ?)
I saw some good one: safeguarding, child protection, food..
They are quite expensive so I want to be sure they are good.
thank you

Have you seen the Forum section on the on line courses? http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=77
I have reviewed many of them and yes Ofsted recognise them, they were impressed when I had my inspection.
Don't think the First Aid would be acceptable though as you do not get the hands on experience with the resusitation dummies. :)
