Could anyone advise me if short courses like distance education courses done from home...I mean home study/ distance are allowed to be used as evidence for the competencies ?? As long as they good courses and provide the needed skills, I hope it wont be a problem for showing as evidence. Or do we have to show courses that we did full time short courses ? kindly clarify.....

Hi,
am not 100% sure, but believe that all you have to do is demonstrate evidence of ongoing professional development.

You can do this e.g. through your in-house in service programme, external courses or conferences (however long), your peer reviews and performance appraisals, the presentations you have given, your home study, etc.. all you need to do is get the certificates and document your own learning.

Don't you need to prove ongoing learning to satisfy your professional body at home? Just use whathever you need to show there.
