TutorShip
TutorShip is the Institute's own distance-learning programme.
TutorShip is a study method that provides the necessary preparation
for the Institute's examinations but also gives students the
opportunity to broaden their understanding of the industry and
develop career potential.
TutorShip courses are written by leading practitioners in their
field and updated annually.
You can enrol for TutorShip via the London Head Office or at your
local Institute Teaching Centre (ITC). ITCs working on behalf of
the Institute use TutorShip materials to provide tuition to
students in their own locality. All our tutors worldwide are
approved by the Institute's Head Office in London and are
specialists in their fields.
Some ITCs also organise other training courses, revision events
and seminars for students and members.
Contact your local ITC or branch for more information.
