AFTER THE COURSE

Because this diploma carries 20 models, centres should timetable follow-up evidence windows if every model cannot reasonably be completed within the 5 taught days alone.
Complete any remaining workbook questions, written assignments or oral questioning requested by the assessor.
Submit consultation records, treatment notes, photographs, evaluations and reflective accounts.
Attend any additional supervised clinic sessions required to complete the stated model numbers safely.
Organise the final portfolio for internal quality assurance and certification claim.
