Ireland is a very proactive and effective sponsorship market. Not only does it regularly win Awards for outstanding work, it has also provided a number of Irish students who have successfully achieved the Diploma during the 7 years of the course’s existence.
We are again delighted to offer the Diploma to Irish students in 2019, with Core Learning on board as our official course sponsor in Ireland. Should we acquire a minimum of 8 students who reside on the Irish mainland, we will arrange a series of Irish seminars to take place in Dublin during the course. Irrespective of whether we are able to add this extra value for our Irish students, they will have full access to all of the UK-based seminars (via the course website) and are eligible for monthly tutorials with Course Director, Peter Raymond, who will also visit Dublin during the course for face-to-face meetings on various occasions.
The Irish course will run two weeks behind the UK course, which gives a longer period for Irish students to register.
