To continue providing high-quality, evidence-based training and to support the ongoing maintenance and development of our courses, the NEDC has introduced a small fee for access to some of our eLearning modules. This helps to cover essential IT costs and ensure the sustainability of our education programs.
We remain committed to supporting the workforce with accessible, best-practice resources. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. NEDC remains committed to equitable access—if the cost presents a barrier, or if you're part of an organisation seeking to upskill a group, please get in touch to discuss options.
