The CPDA Programme
The CPDA programme provides
a basis for selection depending on the delegates educational qualifications,
professional experience and career aspirations. The aim is to enable
delegates to broaden their technical knowledge whilst developing their
management and business skills.
Short Courses
Any of our modules can be attended as a stand-alone course. It is recommended
that short course attendees complete the post module assignment to
consolidate
learning. In addition subsequent enrolment and conversion to the Certificate,
Diploma or MSc is possible subject to the normal entry requirements.
Modules may also be used towards courses at other academic institutes
again subject to the conditions of that particular institute. To book
on to a module as a short course attendee, please complete and return

Course application form 2008-2009
