Chosing your Components
Which ever component(s) you select is composed of 5 modules, that contain articles with video, audio and other tools to assist with the learning journey. Multiple choice questions at the end of each module help to reinforce learning.
Each module is expected to take you about 30 minutes. Each component therefore provides about 2.5 hours of CPD learning.The entire course provides about 7.5 hours of learning in total.
