The importance of using best practice procedures in arranging and conducting interviews is emphasised as is accuracy in reporting.
Training is given via instruction and actual interviews.
Summary The Diploma component of the programme is of eighteen month duration commencing in December leading to the award of a Diploma of the University of Wales upon successful completion. There may be an opportunity for you to proceed to an MSc degree. This has included spells working in Australia and Dubai.
