The qualification also enables career progression for funeral arrangers and administrators wishing to progress into Funeral Directing, although funeral arrangers must be able to provide evidence of workplace experience of a range of funeral directing responsibilities, including the experience of conducting a funeral within the period of study to enable achievement of the qualification. The Diploma in Funeral Directing can be taken as a stand-alone Diploma following achievement of the Diploma in Funeral Arranging and Administration.
