The Funeral Learning Hub delivers a wide range of courses. Courses that are complementary or similar in topic area make up a bundle. For example, the Introduction to Funerals bundle includes courses that give learners an overview of the funeral industry – a great place to start for new to industry staff. On completion of a course, learners will receive a downloadable pdf certificate recognising their completion and acknowledging the number of CPD hours achieved. On complete of a bundle, learners will receive a Digital Badge, recognising the additional rigour and time involved for completing a bundle.

Key security features include seamless built in SSL certificates and 24/7 monitoring. The site is GDPR and SOC2 compliant and all our information is stored in a secure database hosted on the AWS cloud platform. It runs on the same highly reliable infrastructure used by other Amazon Web Services. We have provisioned the data storage as a Multi-AZ database where its data is synchronously replicated to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone (AZ) for failover purposes. It is also SSD-backed optimized for high-performance applications.

We limit the information we collect about you to first and last name, email address, work location and learning results.

AFDA members who successfully complete a course bundle will receive a Digital Badge. The Digital Badge verifies that you have completed the indicated course through AFDA’s Funeral Learning Hub. Digital Badges can be shared easily through social media, showcasing your knowledge and achievements and allowing readers to click through to find out more about the course and the learning level have achieved.

Each month the AFDA will issue Digital Badges by email to those have successfully completed the requirements in the previous month.
