All JDMIS Diplomas include an ‘enhanced’ variation with additional wholistic projects that utilise information from ALL course modules and their successful completion represents not only skills competence, but synthesis of learning and effective practical application of those skills.
Students aiming for the enhanced diploma are required to complete two projects, each project is inclusive of 18 hours of contact time between students and their advisor and should be completed in not more than 2 calendar months. Projects can be undertaken separately or, for especially driven participants, concurrently with other diploma training activities.
Participants choosing NOT to complete the enhanced projects, but who have successfully completed the 6 required diploma modules will exit the programme without the 'enhanced' variation of the qualification.
