Access to free Affirm Training during Transgender Awareness Week
Eligibility
The offer of free training during Transgender Awareness Week is open to all UK medical students who have not yet graduated. When registering, applicants must use their active university email account (ending in ac.uk), and confirm what year of study they are in.
Non-medical students and members of the public
The training has been created with a broad reflective perspective that would be useful for clinicians of all levels internationally. Given the popularity and demand of this course, we have implemented a 50% discount to all our courses during Transgender Awareness Week.
Start and end times
The offers (both free access for UK medical students and 50% discount for all other professionals) will run between Friday the 13th of November at 00:01 hours (UK time) and Friday the 20th of November 2026 at 23:59.
UK Medical Students accessing the course free of charge will have a 14 day period to complete the training from the moment they claim the course. Those who have paid for the course will have no time limit to complete the course.
If medical students do not manage to complete the free course within the 14 days they will lose access. Information regarding how many modules they completed will be stored on the website, so should they decide to self-fund to gain access to it in future, they will be able to pick up where they left off.
The offer
The free training offer only applies to the following course available through Affirm: ‘Foundations of Gender: A Clinician’s Journey’. All modules are included in the offer.
Training comes with a CPD certificate. This is automatically generated when the course has been completed.
We reserve the right to change or end the offer in the event of technical problems, misuse, or exceptional demand.
All data will be managed in accordance with GDPR.
The course is training, not clinical guidance, and does not replace medical school teaching or official NHS guidance.
