4 bundles at $23 each. Bundle hours differ, 4-A is 4.5 hours, 4-B is 4.5 hours, 4-C is 4.0 hours, 4-D is 4.0 hours. Every session is a live webinar and is released afterwards as on-demand video, so you can attend or catch up.

Need more hours? A larger bundle covers more of your annual requirement in one purchase.

One professionalism hour. CICC requires one of your CPD hours each year to relate to professionalism or the Code of Professional Conduct. 4-C and 4-D cover that hour. 4-A and 4-B carry substantive hours only, so you would need to source that hour separately.
