The IOIC Advanced Diploma Open Afternoon is an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the programme, meet the team and hear from alumni. 

During the session we'll explore: 

• how the diploma can enhance your career 
• what to expect on, and from, the programme
• the course curriculum and learning outcomes 
• the practicalities of studying while working 
• entry requirements and applying for the course
• answers to your questions! 

Attendees will hear from alumni about how the diploma has benefited them, transformed their internal communication practice and advanced their careers. They will also share personal reflections on the experience. 

You'll also have the opportunity to get to know the course facilitator and have your questions answered about workshops, teaching, delivery and entry requirements, as well as learn more about what to expect around support and the practicalities of studying.

It is the perfect opportunity to ask your burning questions!
