Skills for success

The Independent Funeral Directors’ (IFD) College is well placed to support all your educational needs. The college, which is aligned with SAIF, was established in 1995 to ensure employees at family-run funeral businesses were able to access high-quality training leading to fully accredited qualifications.

The latest vocational in-person and virtual courses include training for funeral directors, practitioners, administrators and funeral operatives as well as health and safety for funeral staff. All courses are in high demand and right at the time of print.
