Training

Guidelines for BSOP endorsements of training courses:

The following should be taken into account when BSOP endorsement of a training course is considered:

  1. Organizers: credentials and credibility.
  2. Speakers’ credentials: credibility in area of PV, previously engaged in teaching, any publications in PV discipline, members of related professional organizations or not.
  3. Length of the course appropriate to competency level of trainees.
  4. Does course take into consideration the background of the participants or the appropriateness of the audience or participants
  5. Substance of the course (Objectives of the course, a logical progression, depth and coverage, references, reading materials provided)
  6. For profit or not for profit (Agreed that the outside BSOP courses that we will consider endorsing should be non-profit in the same way BSOP is ‘not for profit’). We should feel comfortable that all reasonable efforts have been made to keep costs to a minimum while realizing that reasonable remuneration may be required for organisers and speakers to compensate for expenses such as travel.
  7. Assessment of the course by faculty, evaluation system of the course by the students, with organiser’s written report at the end.

Guidelines for mid-year training: Mid-year training

  1. In keeping with its primary objective, BSOP will prioritise training courses for the mid-year training.
  2. Decisions on where to hold the mid-year training courses will be decided by the EC on a case-by-case basis.
  3. No honorarium will be accepted by EC or BSOP members who speak on a mid-year training.
