LIVE DIPLOMA course dates
AUTUMN SEMESTER 2026
Live Diploma Course Dates
Shown below are the course dates for the Autumn Semester 2026
NOTE:
Each course module takes place at the weekend and each part runs at two different times on the those days.
Each Core Module consists of two 3-hour sessions, one on Saturday (morning or afternoon) and one on Sunday (morning or afternoon).
As the complete diploma course runs twice a year, students have the option of attending any additional missed modules in the next semester. Alternatively, students who have missed a module of the live diploma now have the option of taking the equivalent module of the newly revised Self-Guided Diploma at a time that best suits them.
