FOUNDATION DIPLOMA
The Foundation Diploma (FD) is ideal for people with little industry experience, but who would like to gain practical knowledge and a sound qualification. It involves taking our Introduction to Shipping paper and one of our specialist group 2 papers from the list (below). It is a stand alone qualification in its own right, but is also a great way to ease into the journey towards membership and gives an overall view of the business. Completion of the FD means the papers you have sat will be recognised if you go on to full professional qualification that leads to membership with the Institute.
