Notes:

*Total Programme Time – This is the number of hours of learning and provides an estimate to how long it will take a typical student, on average, to achieve the learning outcomes you have established; namely what they will know, understand and be able to do having successfully completed your programme. The estimate includes recognised modules, as-well-as the amount of time spent in preparation for these modules, along with independent reading, assignments, study, revision, assessments and the completion of course-work required on the programme, including coaching/mentoring practice.

*All training providers must allocate time on their course/programme to present the IAPC&M’s Code of Professional Conduct, Capability Model and ‘Why Accreditation Matters’ presentation.

*Students can apply for their Accredited Practitioner level providing they have attained a minimum 60 hours of relevant learning and completed a minimum of 60 hours practical experience

*The IAPC&M reserve the right to request further information in support of any application for accreditation at any level.

*Payment of the application fee does not guarantee accreditation.

*Successful accreditation is valid for three years.
