The Learning Lab is our Independent Learning Platform for volunteers. Within it you will find a variety of online self-study courses, required learning for all volunteers and registration opportunities for in person and online workshops. The content has been designed to support and empower you - both in your volunteering role and with your own personal and professional development.

Unfortunately, our Learning Lab isn't optimised for mobile devices, particularly iOS (used by iPhones), which may lead to scrolling errors or other usability issues. While it may function to some extent, it's not the ideal environment for completing the training.

We recommend completing this training on a laptop or PC to ensure a smoother experience. Please ensure your device has all the necessary updates installed prior to starting the training, to avoid any error messages.
