FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers. For anything not covered here, see Documents or write to us via Contact.
Is a DF Business School diploma regulated or accredited?
No. Our diplomas are private, non-regulated qualifications. They are not accredited by Ofqual and do not appear on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. Full detail is in our Legal Notice.
What does “curriculum mapped against RQF Level 5/6” mean?
It describes how we designed the syllabus — matching its depth and workload to the published RQF level descriptors. It is a curriculum benchmark, not a claim that the diploma itself is regulated.
What's the difference between a Professional Diploma and an Advanced Diploma?
Both run three years by distance learning at the same fee. Professional Diploma ends in a written final exam; Advanced Diploma ends in a supervised final project or dissertation-style paper, with a longer reading list along the way.
Can I use a DF Business School diploma for a regulated profession or a visa application?
Check directly with the relevant regulator, professional body, or immigration authority before enrolling. We do not represent that any diploma satisfies a specific external requirement.
Is there a way to complete a diploma faster if I already have relevant experience?
Our Fast-Track (Recognition of Prior Learning) route shortens — but never removes — the coursework, and still ends in a supervised final assessment. Contact admissions to have your eligibility assessed.
How is my personal data handled?
Daur Finance Limited is the data controller. We hold applicant and student data on a named-access basis and do not sell it. Full detail, including your rights, is in our Privacy Notice.
Can an employer verify that someone holds a DF Business School diploma?
Yes, with the graduate's written consent. See the verification request form under How it works.
Where do your teaching staff come from?
Faculty are recruited internationally — qualified, experienced practitioners and academics matched to each diploma by subject rather than by region.
