Definition of Licensed Training Materials
Licensed training materials are materials that are available in either physical or digital formats that are made compulsory by the principle in order to complete the course.
This is usually done in instances where appointed training providers are licensed to run signature courses from a principle. Such materials will be used by the trainer and trainees to facilitate the training programme throughout the duration of the licensed course.
