Assessment process
Participants are encouraged to develop their analytical, critical and evaluative ability by applying their learning from the programme to their work; they will also undergo a rigorous assessment process. The assignments aim to give participants the opportunity to add value to their organisations by addressing real and significant work-related projects. Full assignment guidelines supplied on registration.

Ivor Falvey, commercial director, Brand Republic, Campaign, Marketing and MediaWeek, was the 2007 Felix Dennis top graduate award winner: “‘As well as offering me great business tools and structure, the PPA Diploma in Publishing helped me to benchmark some of the bigger decisions I have had to make over the last few years, as well as increase my understanding of how to reduce the risks involved. Best of all, it assisted in my promotion, where I am now responsible for the commercial business of the Haymarket Brand Media portfolio.”
