About
Learning on TAP (TAP for short) is an innovative WHO blended learning resource. Our open access platform hosts online modular courses on a range of health topics. The courses are designed for online learning to be followed by face-to-face learning and supervised practice in the workplace. TAP provides training for primary health care and community workers and for pre-service education programmes.
