The Fundraising Programme’s route to the Certificate in Fundraising Management is based around two courses: The Foundation Course in Fundraising Practice and Managing Fundraising.
Successful completion of these two elements and their assignments leads to qualification for the award of the Certificate in Fundraising Management, subject to Institute of Fundraising membership as outlined below.
You will automatically be registered for the assignment associated with each course for accreditation, (subject to you paying the £50.00 registration fee directly to the Institute of Fundraising and you will automatically receive an invoice for these fees from the Institute). If you do not wish to be registered and complete the assignment for the course, please inform your trainer on the first day of your course.
