The fee for the course covers all four days, all refreshments and lunches as well as notes and the exam. It does not cover accommodation.
An examination follows the course in the form of an open book exam and can be taken at a time and place of your choosing (office hours only). This exam is sent to you via email and you have 3 hours to complete and return it for marking. It gets sent away to an external examiner and your result will then be emailed to you once it comes back. We say to allow at least 3-4 weeks but it does depend on the examiner’s workload. Full instructions for sitting the exam will be given during the course.
Please note there is no formal qualification with this course, but on completion of the course and passing the exam you will get a Certificate of Achievement.
