Pls what if someone fails the exam in any course will the person do more than 30courses to replaced the failed one

No certificate us issued for a failed course , so you have to try again and I think maximum attempt is 2, not sure, but it will reflect on your summary report the no of attempts for each course

I hope you have all seen this. If your licence is due for renewal and you are yet to take advantage of the free CPD courses made available.Then I am afraid something is wrong .

Which is better?
50k+ paid before the pandemic with a lot of stress or just #10,500 + free online CPD courses without stress.
If your licence is long overdue, this is the perfect time to get it renewed before this circular takes full effect.

You know why?
* No stress is involved
* With free online CPD courses, you are good to go
* You only pay for renewal and fine

Take advantage of all these now before it's too late
If you have questions, kindly drop it as comments below

Thanks
