It was really helpful. I liked how you set it out with videos and then readings and hypothetical situations. I found it informative rather than overwhelming. Thank-you so much!

I think you nailed it. Appropriately paced, well presented. No fluff! I have recommended it to others and it was recommended to me.
- The Psychology board's new code of conduct
Loved this course! Short videos. Clear content. The summaries and the easy to comprehend style of writing was ideal to be honest. Especially with so much AI slop around.

What is the webinar?
We took questions from psychologists who completed this course earlier in 2025, and asked them if any particular aspects of the new code were causing concern.
David dove into these topics and answered those questions in a 1 hour Q&A session which is now available to view as a webinar at the end of the course.
Viewing the webinar is completely optional. Once you have completed the course you can revisit any sections, and/or watch the webinar, at any time for 3 years from the time you registered for the course.
