This flexible learning course was developed in response to an identified need for a way for students to learn about quality improvement at their work places. Throughout the eleven modules in this course, activities have been included. These activities are designed to assist students to put the theory into practice and ensure that they understand the principles being presented. An important part of this course is the completion of a quality improvement project.

Students will conduct the project as part of a team, of which they may be the leader or a team member. This gives students an exciting opportunity to put quality improvement into action in their own workplace. The flexible learning package contains all the study materials needed to complete the course.
