During the Course you will have lectures from specialist IBD accredited trainers, attend technical visits, work in groups and work over previous exam questions.

Option 2: Web Based Learning/Tuition:
This programme is available to anyone who has access to the internet. The programme will start in November and finish at the beginning of May each year. Specialist IBD accredited trainers are assigned to each module. Students work through the learning material on line and are asked to complete 5 assignments. The assignments are marked, graded and tutor comments provided. Please note the assignment grade does not go towards your final examination grade but does provides feedback on knowledge and level of preparedness for the examinations. Candidates will have the opportunity to participate in video conferences where the tutors will give live lectures. There will be approximately 5 tutorials per module.

Option 4: Bespoke Company Courses:
If a company has a number of candidates wishing to sit the same modules, it is sometimes cost effective to hold bespoke courses. The IBD will put together a programme with companies to ensure the correct duration of time is provided and specific areas (if needed) are covered.
