The estimated time commitment for the programme is 7 days in total; 4 days for attendance at CPD sessions (two full days, four half days), plus 3 days’ independent work to develop experiments and prepare for the sharing of these at the end of the programme.
Other opportunities are optional and will increase the overall time commitment to the programme.
