If you want to move from the Certificate level of the programme to the Diploma then you
must have a placement, somewhere where you can put what you're learning into practice. We put up as much information about possible placements as we can find on the noticeboards and we also hold a placements event each year (23rd January this time) but we've now also launched a placements blog where you can search through the agencies that we know are worth approaching. You can find the blog at
