Become an ALERT centre

Licensing and Course Delivery

The world-wide administration of the course is managed by The ALERT Training Centre in Portsmouth, UK. Copyright on the course is held by Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust and institutions wishing to run courses need to sign an End User Licence Agreement (EULA) (example here) in order to access the materials. EULAs are issued by The ALERT Training Centre or a local HUB centre that has been licensed by us to manage the course in a particular region or country. The ALERT Training Centre Portsmouth is the HUB for the UK and Ireland.

End User Licence Options

EULA Level 1 allows holders to run ALERT courses in their own institution. They can also, upon discussion with the ALERT Training Centre, add a schedule to the EULA allowing them to offer courses to others in an agreed region or country.

EULA Level 2 status grants the same rights for Level 1 but in addition allows Train the Trainer courses to be delivered to other institutions. To upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2 please contact your HUB centre.
