Duration and Clinical Training

There is no single nationally standardised duration for every course marketed under this diploma title. Institutions may advertise different academic and internship structures. The page must not promise a universal two-year or three-year duration unless the particular awarding authority prescribes it.

A credible programme should state theory hours, simulation practice, ambulance and emergency-department postings, attendance, internship length, logbooks and assessments. Short certificate courses should not be represented as equivalent to a full diploma or the current bachelor qualification.
