There are four entry routes available. The entry requirements are varied - you don't need a degree to join us, but we do require a minimum standard of education or equivalent work-experience.
You may be eligible for more than one entry route e.g. you have A-levels, a degree and work experience so you can choose from IPLDP, DHEP or PCDA. Each route offers different benefits so you can choose the route that suits you.
Please select your preferred entry route on your application form. We aim to offer you the entry-route of your choice however, if that route is fully-subscribed we may offer you an alternative based on your qualifications, skills and experience.
All qualifications will have to be evidenced before a formal offer is issued.
