If you don't want to commit to the entire qualification, you can enrol on one unit at a time to fill specific skill gaps. While we recommend completion of the DipRM in full, each unit is assessed and awarded independently.

You can enrol on individual units for £745 + VAT per unit, or the whole course is £4,950 + VAT per person.

We recommend booking no more than two units per exam cycle.
