The online course is divided into 20 modules (please refer to the module breakdown document). Each module addresses a different topic relevant to hand therapy. Each module will include relevant notes and references; pre-recorded video presentations (60-90 minutes in total); additional resources (which is not compulsory but helpful to understand the topic) and a quiz.
1 CPD/CEU point is allocated for the completion of each module’s quiz.
Modules are clustered together in groups of 4. There are therefore 5 classes through which you will progress throughout the course. You will have 2 months to complete each class of 4 modules; but are welcome to finish it sooner if you wish (it is recommended to try and complete 1 module a week; therefore 1 month per class). The course is designed to be completed at your own pace: previous participants took anywhere from 1 week to 1 year to complete the course.
- Once you register for the course you will receive an invite to a Google classroom via e-mail.
- Google Classroom will allow you to:
- Download the electronic notes relevant to the module.
- View the pre-recorded videos via a loom video link and using the prescribed password.
- View videos demonstrating certain techniques or concepts.
- Follow links to relevant YouTube videos.
- Complete the multiple choice at the end of the module
Each module is priced at R150. Each classroom gives you access to 4 modules.
Therefore, to gain access to a classroom the fees due will be R600. The total cost of the online course is therefore R3000 which can be paid as a once off payment as well.
Participants need to commit to all 20 modules when signing up for the course. Refunds will not be made in the case where a participant chooses to quite the course.
Participants will have 2 months access to each classroom of 4 modules; if they miss the deadline they can continue accessing the platform but at a penalty fee of R50 a week.
