Yes. CPD (Continued Professional Development) Points are Awarded to All Courses. Often up to 500 points can be awarded, please check with whom you are registered for their guidelines on how many points they award for online courses, as they all differ. To give you an example: FHT, Thinktree and others who accredit and approve our courses award CPD points to all distance learning online courses but they all award different amounts of points, no two professional bodies are the same. This is why when you check with the professional body you are with, they will be happy to let you know what’s awarded as we cannot set the number of CPD points, this is done by the accreditation bodies themselves.

We offer great discounts & instalment payment options on balance payments to help you budget. The tutor will contact you with the available instalment options if needed as soon as you have paid the course deposit for your chosen course.
