The Level 5 Peer Mentor Diploma is taught via a blended approach using a combination of: Classroom based learning; Self-Study; Online Study; Practical role-play in real life peer group settings; case studies; and reflective practice.

The programme is made up of 12 units, each of which can be taken as a standalone course.

To gain the Level 5 qualification, you must first have completed all of the Level 3 and Level 4 units, and then all of the Level 5 units. However, you can stake the units in whichever order you choose and gain a CPD certificate after each unit.
