• Difficulty engaging with the target audience - could lead to a lower number of signups or spaces being filled by others who are eligible but not target audience
• Attendees not submitting pledges in a timely manner - delay in certificates being issued and people not being officially certified
• Drop out rate following sign-ups - less than 60 people upskilled
• Difficulty in sourcing venues for in-person training - training would have to be fully online which may lead to lower engagement
• Training required over a large geographical area - may be an uneven spread of attendees leading to more upskilling in some regions
