How do I know what is the right choice for me?
- We suggest you review our Module Overview brochure. This will help you decide which modules/or combination of modules and electives you want to study.
- Our Core Skill Sets may also help to give you an idea of a pathway of learning. You can also design your own Skill Set - just choose your own combination of Modules and Electives matched to your unique needs, for the same price.
- Or you can talk to our friendly staff if you’d like assistance. We are always happy to help.
What is the time commitment?
Most Research Essentials modules take only 2-4 hours to complete. A course of around 30 modules and electives may take around a year to complete, and a Skill Set or Competency (about 8-10 modules) around 6 months.
Please note that all PRAXIS courses must be completed within 12 months of enrolment.
What sort of qualification do I get at the end?
After completing each module, you will get a certificate of completion that you can download. This can be used for accruing CPD points: 24 points for a core skill set, and 3 CPD points for each module.
Are there assessment tasks?
Yes – each module has 3-4 short answer or multiple-choice assessment tasks built-in so you can check your knowledge as you progress.
