The Certificate course is equivalent to a level 4 programme and is similar in level and assessment to the first year of a traditional full-time degree. As a guide you must have a minimum of twelve months to three years fundraising experience either in a paid or voluntary capacity and you must be actively fundraising in an organisation while you are on the course.
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.
