All our courses are designed to progress from Foundation to Diploma level with each course earning a certificate.
This modular approach involves manageable segments starting with two Health and Safety Course units (levels 1 & 2) and two Funeral Foundation Course units (level 1).
Following these, students complete six Arranging and Administration Course units and four Funeral Operatives Skills Course units (levels 2 & 3).
After finishing all four courses, students receive the IFD College Certificate in Funeral Practice and can use Cert. FP post-nominals.
Note: Two units from Operatives Skills course or four from the Arranging and Administration course may be omitted.
After this level, students may undertake four Diploma Modules (level 4) to obtain the Award in Funeral Directing and the post-nominals Dip.FD.

The IFD courses have proven beneficial to our team in bringing new starters knowledge quickly in line with industry standards and the rest of the team. The IFD college provides a fantastic service, and the trainers are very supportive and make themselves available when needed, they also work around us to ensure our training needs are met. The benefits to us are that new starters learn quickly, and our existing team can show a recognised qualification for their work.
