The Certificate in Fundraising provides students foundation theoretical concepts and principles behind successful fundraising. It examines the role of fundraising within the sector and the role it plays in society. We believe that this qualification will offer candidates a truly exceptional grounding in the principles of fundraising and provide the knowledge and skills essential for a modern career in the profession.
Pre-course work is required before the start of each module to ensure students are fully prepared for their teaching sessions. Each module is made up of two teachings sessions and a tutorial via Zoom. Students are expected to attend all live teaching sessions and tutorials.
In addition to the teaching sessions and tutorials, there are approximately 400 hours of self-directed study to complete this qualification.
Students are also required to complete four work based assignments. It is recommended that you make a note of the key dates for each module as well as the assignment deadlines before booking onto the qualification.
We’re keen to ensure you are ready to undertake this qualification.
