Who it is for

Teams where English is a second language.

Training only works when people understand it. These are the sectors that ask us most often, and the courses they ask for.

Food manufacturing and processing

Food hygiene, allergen awareness, manual handling and health and safety for production lines where English is a second language for many of the team.

Warehousing and logistics

Manual handling, fire safety, working at height and workplace safety for pickers, packers and drivers on shift patterns.

Construction

Health and safety, asbestos awareness, working at height and COSHH for site teams and subcontractors.

Hospitality and cleaning

Food hygiene, COSHH, fire safety and customer service for kitchens, housekeeping and contract cleaning teams.

Care

Safeguarding, infection control, moving and handling and the Care Certificate standards for care workers whose first language is not English.

Welsh councils, NHS Wales and care providers in Wales

Mandatory training in Welsh for staff who choose it, which helps a public body meet its Welsh Language Standards.

Why these five languages

The languages UK workplaces actually need.

The 2021 Census for England and Wales counted 1.0 million people who could not speak English well or at all. Four of our five languages are the largest main languages after English and Welsh; the fifth is Welsh itself.

  1. Polish: 612,000 people with it as a main languagethe most common main language after English and Welsh
  2. Romanian: 472,000 people with it as a main languagethe largest increase of any main language between the 2011 and 2021 censuses
  3. Punjabi: 291,000 people with it as a main languagethe third largest main language after English and Welsh
  4. Urdu: 270,000 people with it as a main languagethe fourth largest main language after English and Welsh
  5. Welsh: the language of the Welsh Language StandardsPublic bodies in Wales must offer services in Welsh and, under their operational standards, staff training in Welsh on set topics. A Welsh-language course meets that duty.

What the law expects

Training people can understand.

Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974

Section 2 places a duty on every employer to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of employees. Training nobody can follow does not meet it.

HSE guidance on migrant workers

The Health and Safety Executive says employers must make sure information and training are in a form workers understand, including in a language other than English where that is needed, and must check that it has been understood.

Welsh Language Standards

Public bodies in Wales have duties under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 and their Welsh Language Standards, which include offering staff training in Welsh on set topics such as health and safety. A mandatory course studied in Welsh is one more duty met.

The price

One price list, whatever the language.

Your first CPD place free with a work email, then £16.99 a place for 1 to 9. From 10 places, the order size that unlocks the languages, every place is £14.99 for 10 to 49, and it keeps falling from there. A course in Polish, Romanian, Punjabi, Urdu or Welsh is priced on the same bands as the course in English.

Questions

Questions employers ask about languages.

Which courses can my team study in another language?
Any of our 59 CPD courses, from food hygiene and fire safety to safeguarding and the Care Certificate standards, in Polish, Romanian, Punjabi, Urdu or Welsh. Regulated qualifications are not included.
Is the certificate in English?
Yes. The final test and the certificate stay in the English course name, with the verification link, so the certificate is the one every employer, inspector and auditor recognises. The course text and knowledge checks are in the language your learner chose.
How long does it take to prepare?
1 working day from your order. We email you when the course is ready and your learners can start that day.
Can I order fewer than 10 places in another language?
No. Courses in other languages are available from 10 CPD places in one order, the same order size that unlocks the lower price band. Your free first place counts towards the 10.
Can I mix languages in one order?
Yes. One order can cover people studying in English, Polish, Romanian, Punjabi, Urdu or Welsh, and you tell us who needs which. The order size, not the number of languages, sets the price.
Does this cover regulated qualifications?
No. The offer covers CPD courses only. Regulated qualifications from TQUK and AQA are assessed in English by a named UK tutor, so they stay in English.
