The course is also offered on a part-time basis, over two years. It is also an excellent start to professional development as a practitioner, upon the completion of Stage 2 training, when it is accompanied by the BPS Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBS) This full-time course is heavily employment focused and will prepare you for roles in the areas of health promotion, healthcare delivery, illness management, and rehabilitation.
