The programme (38 credits level 7) equips delegates who have a responsibility for training colleagues within their professional remit with the skills and knowledge that will allow them to deliver structured, measured and effective teaching strategies. The programme identifies and assesses lecturing skills and the specific requirements or teaching clinical skills.
The Diploma is achieved in two days based on delegates’ recognised prior learning – for example a medical degree – and it is tailored to doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals including the medical device industry.
To date, the PG Dip course has been delivered by HC Skills to more than 1,000 people at various venues across the United Kingdom and Europe since 2007.
The qualification, issued by Eduqual, maps directly to guidance for postgraduate medical education referenced by the General Medical Council via the Framework for the Professional Development of Postgraduate Medical Supervisors.

The course utilises blended learning techniques, including an online pre-course component, a two-day classroom-based practical session and a post-course online written assessment. It enables delegates to improve their ability to present, instruct and demonstrate clinical/technical skills to others.
