Please note

Non-clinical. Includes first-aid awareness only; we recommend an accredited Paediatric/Level 1 First Aid course through our accredited partner (quoted separately).

Assessment

Every course has an observed practical assessment (you must show you can do it) and a short theory check (80% to pass). Results are recorded by a Molecules facilitator; you can re-take a failed section once at no charge.

Accreditation

Molecules Academy courses are short, practical, non-accredited courses with a Molecules certificate of competence/attendance. Where a course is aligned to a QCTO occupational skills programme or unit standard it is delivered with, or credit-mapped by, an accredited skills development provider partner; Molecules does not issue SETA/QCTO credits itself until accreditation is granted.
