The course delivers learning across the wide diversity of subjects a Development Management Practitioner requires, in both the private and public fields of work, which are assessed through assignments leading to a DM Foundation Certificate.
To demonstrate competence at work, a further report and interview leads to the IHE Professional Certificate and MIHE.

Comments
I attended Part 1 of the course in Oct 2009 at your offices in London. I was wondering if there is likely to be a Part 2 in London or Essex as I'm very interested in attending
Surrey has put several of its Transportation Development Control Officers and Assistants through this worthwhile course.
It is the only course in the UK which provides such a good understanding of the diversity of subjects encompassed by DC. We will certainly be placing more people on the next course.
Do you supply a similar course covering Scottish Law?
