Admissions FAQ
Do I need to be registered with a regulator to apply?
For fellowships and most clinical skills courses, yes — you must hold current registration with a recognised professional body. Certificates, diplomas and CPD courses are open to a wider range of applicants, including recent graduates.
Are programmes delivered entirely online?
Taught content is delivered online through live seminars and recorded resources. Fellowships and clinical skills courses include compulsory in-person components at partner facilities, scheduled in blocks so travel is kept to a minimum.
Will this qualification let me practise in the UK or the Gulf?
No education provider can grant the right to practise — only the relevant regulator can. Our licensure programmes prepare you for the examinations regulators set, and our advisers will help you understand the pathway, but registration decisions rest with the regulator.
Can I study while working full time?
Yes. Programmes are designed for working professionals. Expect six to ten hours per week for certificates and CPD, and ten to fifteen hours per week for fellowships and diplomas, in addition to any clinical placement.
What happens if I fail an assessment?
You are entitled to one resit at no additional charge, supported by a remediation plan agreed with your academic mentor. Further attempts are considered by the academic board on a case-by-case basis.
Can I defer my place?
Deferral to the next intake is normally permitted once, provided the request is made before induction. Deferral requests after a programme begins are treated as an interruption of study and considered individually.
Do you provide visa or immigration sponsorship?
Our programmes are delivered on a part-time and blended basis and do not attract student visa sponsorship. Where an in-person component requires travel, we provide a letter confirming your enrolment and attendance dates for visitor visa purposes.
How do I get a refund?
Refund entitlements depend on when you withdraw and are set out in full in our refund policy.
