- Senior residents and fellows in cardiology, and consultants or attendings in their first years of practice, anywhere in the world. The teaching assumes a working clinical grounding and focuses on clinical decision-making.
- Live on Zoom, through 25 weekly sessions on Mondays at 18:00 UK time, with the same group of delegates throughout. Each session is a 45-minute talk built around cases from a practising cardiologist, then 10 to 15 minutes of questions from the group. Every session is recorded for the weeks you miss, and the diploma is assessed through weekly MCQs and a final written paper.
- Every session is recorded and available on demand within the delegate portal. You can catch up at any point during the cohort.
- Plan for roughly two to three hours per week. That covers the live session, the weekly formative MCQ, and light preparation or recap.

- Current ESC guidelines, with ACC/AHA differences highlighted where they change practice.
- No. Every session is taught live by a named practising specialist, to the same group of delegates each week, and you can put your questions to them before the session ends. Recordings are there for the weeks you cannot attend, not instead of the live teaching.
