Each subject will be studied over a defined period of time, usually one calendar month. Each participant will receive a copy of a learning support package, including the Profex Study Guide and supporting text book that will provide vital and focused input for each subject. Each subject will be taught via a series of 2/3/4 day training event, depending upon the level, resourced by DPSS, using some of the most respected presenters, including Prof Dave Jessop, Barry Crocker and Ray Carter – all published authors with international reputations. The purpose of the events will be:

(a) To provide the major input required by the participants to be able to successfully complete the exam

(b) To facilitate and support the learning process and to provide participants with the skills and knowledge needed for professional development.

(c) To prepare participants for the rigours of the examination process
