The most popular course offered is Basic ClearRoute™. This covers the main functionality of ClearRoute™. The course lasts two and a half days (or two days if assessment is not required).

The one-day Professional ClearRoute™ course covers more advanced functions, most of which are only available in the full version of ClearRoute™. This course is designed so that clients who have previously attended a Basic ClearRoute™ course can update their knowledge. Alternatively the two courses (Basic and Professional) can be attended consecutively to make up a complete ClearRoute™ course.
