Unlike traditional online learning courses, BPCA’s virtual classroom has a live tutor you can interact with during the day.

As in a classroom environment, candidates will be encouraged to engage in discussions, share experiences and ask questions.

All BPCA training programmes and qualifications have discounts available for anyone who works for a member company.

Because the courses are new, we’ve set introductory prices for all online classroom courses.
