Adults Commissioning Course
We've developed a version of our course specifically for commissioners of adults services
Our popular commissioning course supports commissioners in health and social care organisations to implement the national agenda and develop good commissioning practice. It will enable you to understand the commissioning process and commission value-for-money services.
The course is a combination of virtual group sessions and independent learning activities. You will need to be able to commit to eight half day sessions online, supported by independent study.
There is then an optional accredited part of the programme, providing an opportunity to complete an assignment derived from a work-based commissioning related project. By completing the accredited part of the programme, you will gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Commissioning and Purchasing worth 20 Masters-level CATS points. The project you undertake will give you the opportunity to apply theory and best practice to a live piece of commissioning work. You will also receive ongoing support via three group sessions and two individual tutorials.
The next course for adults' services commissioners are:
- March and April 2024 (note this course is now full)
- Summer cohort 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27 June and 3, 4 July 2024 (note this course is now full)
Once the course is full if you would like to be placed on our waiting list and notified of future course dates, please email: ipc_courses@brookes.ac.uk with the subject line: Adult's Services Waiting List.
