Frequently Asked Questions

Who are open courses for?+

Open courses are designed for individual healthcare professionals — particularly agency staff working in the NHS — who need to book and pay for their own PMVA training rather than having it arranged by an employer.

What certification will I receive?+

You'll receive BILD ACT certification, which is recognised by every NHS trust and CQC-registered provider in the country. The Foundation Course certification is valid for 3 years.

Where are courses held?+

Open course dates and venues are published regularly. Locations are typically accessible training centres in major cities. Specific venue details are confirmed upon booking.

Can I claim the cost back from my agency?+

Many agencies reimburse PMVA training costs. We provide a full VAT invoice and certificate of completion that you can submit to your agency for reimbursement.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?+

We understand plans change. We offer free rescheduling with at least 7 days' notice. Full terms are provided at booking.
