The CPD Course program has a minimum duration of 12 months (with the educational component delivered through Distance Learning – FAD), allowing for the completion of the 6 didactic modules and their respective 6 assessment tests, plus the final evaluation test. The CPD Course program must, however, be completed by the student within 24 months from enrollment; after this period, the student’s access to the platform will be discontinued. The Master’s program requires a total of 1,500 hours, structured as follows:

Each FAD (module) session will have a scheduled duration of 60 days, after which, upon passing the multiple-choice test to verify learning, the student can access the next module. Passing the intermediate tests is a prerequisite for continuing with the master’s program. The study of the consultable material (slides) and the indicated further readings (bibliography for further study) is essential for passing the intermediate tests and the final test.
