The Advanced Diploma has been designed as a stepping stone into full professional qualification and suits those who have some industry knowledge.

 

Like the Foundation Diploma, the Advanced Diploma is a recognized and respected qualification and it can count towards your Professional Qualifying Examinations. It involves taking the Institute's benchmark paper Shipping Business plus one other subject from Group 1

(except Introduction to Shipping) or from the Group 2 list of optional papers from the 

Institute's syllabus.

​

An Advanced Diploma is awarded if both subjects are passed in the same exam sitting.
