British Institute Of Funeral Directors
The British Institute of Funeral Directors is in charge of registering, training, and examining tutors who want to prepare students for the Certificate in Funeral Service and the Diploma in Funeral Service, as well as organising regular courses for its tutors to keep them up to date with current practise.
To become a Registered Tutor of the Institute, you must finish a course of study and pass an examination administered by a team of examiners made up of experienced tutors and certified teaching professionals. In addition, every two years, Registered Tutors must attend at least one teaching seminar. Each Tutor is free to choose their own learning schedule and costs.

I was a former student of Sheila Dicks and passed my Diploma in 2004. I began working with M Coghlan Ltd in 1998 and was a part-time secretary for approximately five years, before taking on the role full-time.
The company allowed me to get involved in arrangements, going out on funerals and all the background work involved in funeral work, from coffin making to preparation of the deceased, which was invaluable. Over the past few years, I have been taking civil ceremonies, so can now offer that extra service to the families I serve.
I have also become a Tutor with the BIFD and have completed three courses already, with one of my first group winning the BIFD Award for the highest mark.
