COURSE DELIVERY

The course is accessed via a dedicated website. On acceptance of your application, we will provide you with a username and password to access the website.

Each Unit is split into smaller Sections (see Course Content for details). For each section, you will download a zip file containing an Activity document and reference papers.  

The Activity document leads you through each section, providing work-based activities for you to complete. You may choose to work through the Activity document on your computer or print off the materials so that you can work on a hard copy.

Each activity is designed to lead you through the topic.  Sometimes an activity will ask you to read a paper and then answer questions. Other times it will ask you to consider a case. A Commentary follows each activity, to check your learning.  For most units there are also a number of lectures to watch.

You will have access to the unit for 3-years from the date of enrolment. We would hope that you will work through it at a rate that is right for you, maintaining a balance between momentum and enjoyment..

CERTIFICATION

As you complete the Activity document for each section, send it by email to the BPNA. Once it has been reviewed, we will provide a certificate of Continuing Professional Development. You can download this from your BPNA personal account.
