The HIV Criminalisation Online Course

Duration

It should take several hours to complete the six main chapters (plus additional time for further, optional resources).

Course type

This is a free-to-access, online, on-demand course. You can enrol, start, and complete the course when it suits you, at your own pace. The course is made up of six chapters and you will need to complete each chapter in order. However, you can work through them at a time that suits you. So you don’t forget what you learned in the previous chapters, we recommend that you complete the course within a couple of weeks (depending on your other commitments).

We recommend that you use the Academy chat, allowing you to be in contact with other learners, to make comments and provide feedback on the course.
