LGBTI Awareness eLearning SCORM Package
We can provide our eLearning in SCORM packages to be hosted on your organisation’s learning management system. We offer 1 and 3-year service agreements and Pride Inclusion Program members can receive an additional 10% off. Complete the form available in the link below and we will reach out to you soon.
LGBTI Awareness eLearning is for anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people and communities. It will introduce you to the LGBTI acronym, expand your understanding of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and bodies. Pride Training also offers an exclusive eLearning on LGBTI Awareness in the aged care sector that quickly and easily gives your staff an introduction to the core principles of working in an inclusive way with older LGBTI people.
Don’t have a Learning Management System? That’s okay, we have one and would be happy to host you, your team or even the whole organisation. You can get a volume discount if you enrol more than 5 of your staff in our eLearning. Complete the form available in the link below and we will reach out?
