Practice Modules are a key component of the Practising Certificates Scheme for individuals applying for their first practising certificate (PC), as well as those returning to a PC role.
They offer a valuable opportunity for candidates to engage with real-life, practice-specific scenarios and reflect on the types of challenges they may encounter as a PC holder.
Through interactive, case-based discussions, participants will demonstrate their understanding of the responsibilities and complexities associated with holding a PC, while gaining practical insights into real-world scenarios.
