The Diploma course is an advanced stage of the Guitarists musical education. It is designed to take Guitarists up to professional standards. This year long course will lead to a final examination. Successful candidates will then be awarded a DipLCM and will be given the honour of being permitted to place those letters after their name.

The course will take place over a year with students attending for 4 hours of tuition per week. Each term will be ten weeks long. Prospective students should be under no illusions about the demands of this course. Studying for the Diploma is intensive and a very high level of commitment will be required.

There are no pre-requisite qualifications for the diploma but students should be able to demonstrate a very high standard of performance. Security of technique and the ability to communicate an emerging sense of musical personality will be expected.

Acceptance on the course is subject to a successful audition.
