Course description

In 2013, there were approximately 450,000 diagnoses of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) made in England.

This course enables you to expand your knowledge of sexual health issues. It is a great way to increase knowledge if you are looking into a career in this field of work, or just to increase awareness of different types of STIs, relationships and human reproduction.

This short, auto-marked programme will give you the knowledge you need to understand the impact and key issues surrounding sexual health.

A great addition to your CV to show your commitment to health and care, this is also beneficial for general knowledge.
