We recommend you take at least a couple of the following courses, including 1 in-person workshop, before committing yourself to the whole Diploma just to make sure our training’s right for you – you will learn plenty on every course that you can immediately use in your work, or will find personally beneficial.

Want to finish Part 1 quickly?
Our Part 1 attended courses are run throughout the year in London, Bristol and Leeds in blocks of training days, so you can attend several workshops at once. You then have time to absorb the knowledge, do additional background reading and practice the skills before attending your next block of training.
Use the drop down and date filters on the courses page to plan your Part 1, or call our friendly team on +44 (0)1323 811690 – they will be happy to talk through your Diploma journey with you.
Please note: Some courses fill up quickly, so it’s a good idea to book as soon as you can to get all the dates together that you’d like.
Excellent training as ever, continually updated with new understanding and techniques. Thank you.

Home study
There is a Reading List for the Diploma which you will need to read and absorb before attending Part 2. It is a good idea to start this while you work your way through Part 1 to help you absorb the information. (Before you attend Part 2, you will also be sent the Diploma Manual to read.)
You are also encouraged to practice the various new skills you are learning on Part 1 as often as possible so you can derive the most benefit from Part 2.
