Interactive and video features
The course features:
- a close up look at the different needs of a wide range of customers including those with disabilities, the elderly and customers with young children
- an examination of the whole customer journey - from encountering your marketing to leaving your premises
- video material and video case studies
- interactive learning material
- the facility to save your progress and answers
- a feature that allows you to build your Access Statement as you work through the course.
Free to use
The course is free for tourism businesses to use, and requires just a standard computer and connection. You will simply need to register once and then you can return and log-in as many times as you (or your staff) like, in order to complete the course.
Tried and tested
The course is the online version of a training programme that has been running for some time and has been put together using real experiences from real businesses - many of which are documented in the course material.
