Good to know
Is a course week the complete pathway?
This depends on the level. Certified also includes modules, placement and assessments. The final programme will explain this for each level.
Can I start directly with Certified?
The current website describes entry without an Assistant diploma. WGTF will confirm your route and current requirements during a personal consultation.
What are the international opportunities?
We share practical examples and the international network. Opportunities depend on the country, employer and organisation; a diploma does not guarantee a job or a specific membership.
