Annual Review and CPD

As you reach the end of your academic year of our Diploma Course on “Baking as Lifestyle Medicine” we take the opportunity to ask you as our learning community about your course.  This the opportunity for reflection, personal growth and continuous learning.

The annual review is a fundamental part of your learning journey, and engagement in this process serves as a platform for open dialogue about your experiences throughout the year. It gives us an insight into your progress, strengths, areas of improvement, and personal reflections.

Vanessa and the team are here to support you through this process. We will review your submissions, assess your progress, and provide constructive feedback that is aimed to aid your learning and growth. It’s an opportunity to express your thoughts, concerns, and aspirations as you continue your journey on the course.

The review form contains a series of questions that invite open-ended responses. Please remember, there are no right or wrong answers. We encourage you to take your time, be honest, and share your unique perspective. If you have any area’s of concern then tick yes to having a chat with Vanessa and choose a convenient slot using the Calendly link.

Lastly, we will as the CPD points are hopefully about to be added, as you to fill in your attendance form.

This new form will allow you to keep a record of your learning experience and is required, should you wish to register for your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. Please make sure to send it in time to keep your records updated.

We’re thrilled about the journey you’re on, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Thank you for being part of our community, for your dedication, and for the unique contributions you bring to our course.

We’re looking forward to your reflections, and to an even more successful year ahead.

Best regards,

The “Baking as Lifestyle Medicine” Course Team
