BIFD launches new range of qualifications

The British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD) has announced the launch of a new suite of qualifications.

From 8 September students will have the opportunity to work towards gaining the Certificate in Funeral Service or the Diploma in Funeral Service.

The BIFD’s Education Committee has worked towards producing what it describes as “the most concise, user-friendly textbook available for students in the profession.”

Anyone who feels that they have the ability to deliver the Certificate and Diploma in Funeral Service and become a registered tutor or examiner is invited to attend a tutor’s weekend on 6 October for an interview and assessment with the Education Committee.

All enquiries from students wanting to apply should be initially directed to the nearest registered tutor. A list of available tutors can be found on the Institute’s website, www.bifd.org.uk

Further details about the presenters, trainee tutors or examiner courses can be obtained by emailing admin@bifd.org.uk
