STI Foundation Complete E-learning (eHIV-STI)

You do not need to be registered on the STI Foundation Complete programme to undertake the e-learning. It is highly recommended that you complete 50% of the e-learning before commencing your training and assessments.

Time frame for completion of training

24 months from the date of the first assessment. STI Foundation recognises that COVID19 is likely to cause disruption to training. The timeframe remains unchanged; training extensions as result of the pandemic are given. A training extension request form needs to be completed prospectively, not retrospectively.

On successful completion of the training and assessment programme, Certificates of STI Foundation Intermediate and Advanced Competency is awarded. The Advanced Competency Certificate needs to be revalidated every five years. Link to the STI Foundation Revalidation web page.
