As a result of new accreditations and reaccreditations last year more centres in the UK will be delivering the IOA certificate courses in 2023. A full list of accredited centres is on the relevant course page on the IOA website (training tab) and any of these centres should be contacted directly for information on course dates, delivery methods and course fees.
Typically certificate courses run for five days onsite once in the Spring and the other in the Autumn, with a practical assessment and a written examination on the final day. However some centres may only run one sitting per year and offer a slightly different format.
Also, subject to acceptance of the arrangements by appropriate management committees, and a sufficient number of candidates, certificate centres may be able to deliver bespoke courses onsite on request.
Holders of certificate courses may apply for Tech IOA membership (further details are available from membership
ioa.org.uk)
