OD Essentials

Applications details
 

• OD Essentials is a five-week course with approximately six hours of learning required per week. Previous cohorts have commented that this is a significant time commitment and many fell behind with their learning. We ask that you only apply if you can dedicate appropriate time to complete the study.
• The course requires you to give examples of how you can use the learning in your role, or examples of what you have already done. It is not suitable for people not currently working in OD.  
• Study hours are completed in your own time - there are no specific times (apart from the virtual sessions, which aren’t compulsory) that you need to be available. We run new cohorts of learners every two months.
• We have been working to ensure participants are supported as much as possible during the course. As part of this we hold two, optional, virtual meetings for learners, so you can build relationships with others on your cohort, ask questions or offer support.

Register for October 2024 or December 2024 cohorts. 

If you're unable to commit to the full five-week OD Essentials course, or don't currently work in the NHS, our Essential Elements course is also open for enrolments.
