CPD Hours

This course has been developed in line with CPD learning requirements. There is no standard number of CPD hours attached, as it is self-paced and every participant will spend varying amounts of time completing the modules. Therefore, participants must keep a diary of time spent on the course. Once verified, a personalised certificate will be sent to participants upon completion, including hours logged for CPD.
