Who's got/doing the professional Diploma

[MATTMOSS]

Remember the Professional Diploma and the newer level 4 diploma are not the same thing. The old Professional Diploma is now the level 6 diploma. The newer level 4 diploma is more of a tech cert equivalent.

 

The level 4 diploma is well worth doing. It does take up a lot of your life which is particularly taxing for those with children and businesses but you will find it an excellent entry level qualification into consulting covering a reasonably wide variety of subjects. If you are prepared to put the time in then it is time well spent.

 

 

The level 4 qualification is the old tech cert and the level 6 diploma is the old professional diploma.

 

I have done the tech cert so it would be pointless doing the level 4 qualification, now I want to do the level 6.

(I think)

Passed management day last year.

 

Treelife will tell you to expect your life to be turned upside down, and you will stand there and say ok, and sub-consciously you will be thinking it will be alright ill manage etc. But never a wiser word be said, Prof Dip will test your resolve, your relationship with your wife, kids, mates, workmates, the dog and anything else that you currently have in your life. My gf nearly left me by the last few months. I did it the old way and it was significantly harder than tech cert. But the new way is extremely heavy. You will come out the other end, if you're lucky haha, with an abundance of knowledge that you will be able to apply.

 

It is the application of the knowledge that is fundamental to passing PD Arb, you just have to acquire the relevant knowledge to do it. At least it was when I did it.

 

Good luck, and I am not being dramatic but you are going to need it.

Treelife are very good at their teaching in my opinion by the way.

 

Jamie, Do you think the new framework will be harder than the old way?

Planning on doing this but living so far away from anywhere useful, it'll likely have to be by distance learning through Treelife. Is there anywhere else that offers by distance, and is there anywhere cheaper than £5.2k?

Whoop! Just noticed I've already busted out one of the modules, Plant Selection, as we did that at L5 in the L4! Hope it's transferable as no way on earth do I want to repeat that experience!
