Introduction to the ABPI Code of Practice training

Our 3-hour self-directed, online eLearning course will give you a solid introduction to the ABPI Code.  This course is aimed at anyone who is new to the Code and wants to understand the governance, principles and the key clauses to get you started.  There are six separate modules covering:

• Background to the Code – why have a Code?
• The four key principles
• Promotion requirements

• Meetings and events
• Non-promotional activities

The course is interactive with regular quizzes and activities and a course completion certificate.  It focuses on the key Code points and practical examples rather than specific Code cases.
