Our Open Learning training course combines On Demand training modules, supported by Live Online Tutorials and Revision Sessions. The On Demand training modules are released in advance of the tutorials to allow delegates time to review the material in their own time. The release date is supported by a Live Online Briefing to explain the programme and approach.
The Live Online Tutorials are instructor led – covering the main points of each module in turn and include time for Q&A with delegates.
The Live Online revision sessions are delegate led – allowing delegates to pick the topics and questions for review as part of their preparation for the exam.
The exam will be held on 13th March in Manchester, UK. Other venues and dates may be arranged. Delegates have the option to request a custom exam at a time and location of their choosing for an additional fee.
