The Process

We can help you every step of the way!

The Pathway

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.

Bennetts Funeral Directors have been advocates of IFD for some years.  We feel training at all levels is incredibly important, it improves efficiency and productivity, it gives confidence to those who may struggle in their learning as there are different ways in which learning can be evidenced.  Over time confidence leads to less support being required, and further advancement through training appreciated.   Confidence in our roles and competence to carry out tasks is greatly appreciated by our families who ask us to take care of their loved ones.
