Courses

We run a regular programme of open courses. All facilitators running IDHP courses, whether a short course or a two-year diploma undertake a Self and Peer Accreditation Process and receive supervision from the IDHP Committee.

There are usually two facilitators running each IDHP course.

Short courses run throughout the year and are 2-5 days in length.
