The main aim of UKCBC is to assistlearners in maximising their potential by ensuring that they are taught clearly and effectively.

SEMINARS:These are in addition to the lectures. The seminars are designed to give learners the opportunity to test theirunderstanding of the material covered in the lectures and private study with the help of reference books.
