Programme notes
Adviser's notes in preparation
The unit structure, entry requirements and Ofqual details below are taken directly from the Qualifi specification. What is not yet here is our own account as independent advisers: who the programme suits, how LSPM sequences the units, what the assignments involve and where it realistically leads. It is being written from the specification and from what LSPM and past learners have told us.
Until then, the fastest way to find out whether it fits is to ask. We reply within two working days, and we will put anything we cannot answer to LSPM for you.
Structure
Four units, all mandatory
All four units are mandatory. Qualifi publishes the diploma's total of 60 credits; the data we hold does not state a per-unit credit value, so the table shows titles only and the specification is the authority.
