Qualifications

Build your own intensive course with our modular and flexible programmes

 

When you take either our modular training or flexible learning programmes you can achieve the Foundation Diploma Level 4; the Advanced Diploma Level 5 and the Graduate Diploma Level 6. If you have passed or are exempt from 5 units at Levels 4, 5 and 6, and have with 3 years’ relevant work experience, you will gain full MCIPS status.

Modular training is made up of a range of free-standing individual units of learning. Each module is delivered by one of our experienced and professionally qualified, training consultants, and is supported by a course book and up to 5 days of intensive tutorial sessions. At the end of each module there is a set examination, conforming to the same stringent standards as those for the conventional study routes.

 

You can select as many modules as you require, forming a concentrated course of learning within a designated time-frame. As each level is a qualification is its own right, even if you decide that you do not want or need to study the whole qualification, you will be awarded a Diploma.
