What is a diploma?
A diploma is self-guided learning, in which you take responsibility for your own learning rather than relying solely on traditional classroom instruction or teacher guidance. You will still get one-on-one time with your tutor, who will monitor and guide you through your studies.
A diploma is designed to be flexible to fit in with your work and home life, so it can be worked on as and when suits you best.
You are supported throughout your diploma by your tutor and will have access to an online learning platform filled with resources to help you complete your modules.
Your start date is flexible. As soon as your enrolment is passed to the diploma provider, they will organise a start date with you.
Packages
Access to the Level 4 Diploma can be bought either as a stand-alone for those who have previously completed the Certificate in Building Control course, or purchased in a package which would include both weeks and assessment for the Certificate in Building Control course.

**Where applicable for non-members or current Student members as an upgrade. Grade is dependent upon current experience at time of booking.
