The new diploma support website
If you are delivering diplomas – now, from 2009 or later – you will find invaluable information and support for all 10 lines of learning at diploma-support.org 

At its launch on 1 September, the site will be populated with news from the world of diplomas, downloadable activities and other resources. You’ll be able to book core training events, such as the 'Inside the Diploma' workshops, and request bespoke training via the site. There’ll also be comprehensive contact information for the different types of support that diploma practitioners might need, for example, regional diploma coordinators and national diploma line leads. And you’ll be able to participate in communities at national, regional and consortium level.

If you’re a phase 1 practitioner who was previously registered for the diploma support VLE, you can also access this via the new site.

Over the coming months, the site will expand to include a range of tools and features that will support your development as you prepare for diploma delivery.

• The ability to manage and evidence your own continuing professional development as you prepare for diploma delivery.
• A planning tool which you can use this to share tasks and milestones with colleagues in your consortium, and also export your plan to your preferred calendar program.
• A large Inside Work section devoted to employer engagement, featuring interactive case studies and virtual placements for all lines of learning.

The new site is designed to help you and your consortium focus on the issues and challenges you will encounter when delivering the new diplomas. By showcasing best practice and innovative solutions formulated by other consortia, we hope you will be able to develop methods and techniques that will work for you.

All of the basic content on the site can be accessed freely, without the need to register. Completing a simple registration form means you’ll be able to:

• book training events and request bespoke training online
• track and manage your own progress
• upload your own customised CPD activities
• create and save your personal diploma delivery plan
• get a home page that’s customised to your interests and priorities
• contribute to online communities.
