Choosing an approved centre

Individuals may study for an SSM qualification by attending education institutions, private-training organisations, and training centres or by tuition supported open learning.

Centres who provide tuition leading to the SSM’s Certificate, Advanced Certificate and / or Diploma  examinations, are included in the Tuition Providers Listings which can be found by clicking here. The modes of study, courses and services offered will vary from centre to centre (as will the tuition fees). Students are therefore advised to contact the centre of their choice for further information.

Inclusion within the Study centre List does not indicate any kind of formal accreditation by the SSM except where indicated. SSM Approved Centres have met the required criteria and satisfied the SSM that its tutorial staff, its learning resources and its quality systems comply with our quality standards.

Inclusion in the List does not guarantee that any programme will run, as this will depend on local market demand and other circumstances. The SSM will ensure as far as possible that the information contained within the Tuition Providers List is as accurate and as up-to-date as possible.

Some students choose to prepare for SSM examinations by studying as an independent student, with no support from a tuition centre. The SSM does not recommend such a learning strategy because there is evidence to suggest that the quality of learning is greatly enhanced by tutor and peer group support, at this level.
