    FAQs

    What is included for free?

    Learners can access articles, and create an account to track progress. However, if they would like to access premium eLearning modules, tools (with no ads) and secure recognition (badges and certificates), then learners need an active Premium or Enterprise subscription.

    Can you give me an example of a premium eLearning module?

    Premium eLearning modules are interactive and engaging. An example is included below.

    What is the difference between a corporate account (BB Enterprise) and a normal individual subscription (BB Premium)?

    Corporate clients who secure access for their people have additional features, and a lower subscription cost per person. These features include the ability to manage and report on users, custom branding and URL, SSO, bespoke dashboards and courses, and much more…Think of this as a “ready-made” LMS.

    What eLearning modules are included in the C30 and Compliance Catalogues?

    We have 100s of premium eLearning modules. Click below to explore the collections:

    Is there a minimum term for BB Premium and Enterprise?

    There is no minimum term for BB Premium, with billing being monthly. BB Enterprise minimum term is one year and is charged in advance.

    Can I share a BB Premium subscription?

    No, BB Premium subscriptions are linked to individual accounts. You must purchase the appropriate number of licenses (Premium or Enterprise). Sharing accounts breaks the terms and conditions of the site and may result in a ban.
