Course Description
Enrolment on our Sleep Practitioner Programme gives you access to both the eLearning platform, and to the live sessions.
The live course follows a series of 10 weekly sessions, with intakes 4 times per year (Januray, April, July and October).
If you prefer to follow the eLearning route, you can continue with this enrolment. If you also want to attend the live sessions, then please contact us [email protected] so that we can book you in and sending you the joining instructions.
Alternatively, you can book directly through our website https://childcarestudies.co.uk/sleep-practitioner-programme/ (you will still have access to this eLearning element of the course).
