The assessment opens later in 2026, so you have a few months after the workshop to consolidate before submitting. It is designed to test clinical reasoning, not recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\">If you are working with IBS clients now, you are likely already doing much of what this certificate formalises. The framework makes your practice rigorous, transferable, and verifiable \u2014 and the gap between the workshop and assessment gives you time to apply it in practice before you are evaluated on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check-list\">\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12\"><strong>Attend the two-day workshop<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13\"><strong>Complete the MCQ assessment<\/strong>: 20 questions, pass\/fail, up to three attempts.
