The Community of Learners (COL) approach was initiated to enable rehabilitation practitioners who are already employed to attain a two-year BCR degree. A COL is a group of fifteen or more experienced professionals who commit themselves to plan together and support each other in completing the degree with the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà and other local or linked post-secondary institutions. Candidates have a prior diploma or degree plus a minimum of three years of relevant experience. Courses are offered by various means, including the Internet and condensed delivery.
