Some Common Questions About the Course

How long does this course take?

We aimed to create an extensive, in-depth teaching course to be better than the traditional expensive classroom courses, that could be done in the comfort of your own pace and place of choice. Hence, the recommended time for the medical online teaching course is 12 hours, although the actual time taken will depend on how quickly you assimilate the information.

To successfully complete the course you will need to pass in-module and end of module quizzes, as well as a final test before we issue a certificate of completion. There will also be up to two assignments which will require you to use your new teaching skills in the workplace, evidenced with feedback or a report.

What does this course include?

This course is an extensive, in-depth online alternative to in person train the trainer teaching courses. It is specifically aimed at doctors and healthcare professionals to improve on the expensive and cumbersome classroom courses.

You will be covering a full range of topics from core adult learning theory to the basis of objective setting and giving feedback to the practicalities of planning and delivering bedside teaching.

Of course, as teaching is inherently an interpersonal skill, part of the course will ask you to use the skills you are learning in real life and submit assignments in the form of either reports on a teaching session or feedback from your peers or students.

How much is the course?

The course is £149 and includes all the online content, full support from our team for the duration of the course and a certificate of completion. This is the cheapest and best value teacher training course available – most courses are in excess of £300. 

How many points can I get for my applications?

Claiming points for teaching is getting harder and harder. The course is over 12 hours in content, well over the average teaching time of a 2 day course. As of 2022, the application scoring system for training in teaching for IMT and ST3 applications has changed. This course will be worth 1 point, instead of the 2 points from previous years. This is because a diploma or PGCert in teaching is now required to attain 2 points. 

Is this course accredited?

Yes! As of November 2020 the Erudical course is CPD accredited. Also remember that every person that completes the course will get a formal certificate of completion to allow them to claim points for their job application as well as add to their portfolio.

How many CPD points do I get?

Our course is CPD certified, but as each professional body counts differently, we can’t answer that question for you. For example, the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) give 1 point for every 1 hour spent. So you have to find out how your points are logged, and then claim points based on that. So that means, you can get up to 12 points for the RCP!

What if I can't finish the course?

The medical online teaching course is designed to take 12 hours, to be done in your own time, and is therefore available to you to complete in 6 weeks. If at the end of this you require more time to finish off certain modules then an extension can be purchased on the website for a further 6 weeks of access. 

If you are unable to finish the course we will not be able to give you a certificate of completion.
