Core Competence Training Programme - Flexible Learning Pathway

This robust training offering has been built by the industry for the industry, with over 500 years of combined knowledge. The complete course comprises over 175 learning outcomes, backed by 745 assessment criteria, all of which have approval from the awarding body, meaning each qualification sits on the Ofqual framework.

How does it work?

The more you book, the cheaper it becomes.

Multiple learners can be booked at the same time using the online booking form.

Discounts apply to members of DHF.

Open to DHF members ONLY until December 2026
