Bookings are now open for the 2005 International Master Stamp Dealers Course. There are 2 or 3 vacancies left in most English-speaking countries.
The course has been operating since 1997, but only a small number of students are accepted each year, to both limit entry to the profession, and to ensure personal assistance to each student.
It is the ONLY complete Course for stamp dealers in the world ; do not be confused by small 24 page pamphlets for sale, written years ago, claiming to be a 'course.' (You only get what you pay for !)
The Course comprises some 33 lessons, made up of 200 subject texts, in thousands of pages.In addition there are over 200 EXTRA money-making and money-saving tips sent out with the lessons - these tips alone are worth more than the cost of the Course fees. For each lesson module there is an optional test paper to complete and return to be assessed, followed by feedback from tutor to student. Updating is continual, and a confidential trade newsletter is issued from time to time ONLY to students.
On completion there is a diploma awarded and the successful student can then use the letters IMSDA after his/her name. There are scholar-ship and barter arrangements available to students in some countries where overseas remittance is difficicult - enquire if you think you are in this category. Write by airmail to the address below, fax, or email your postal address to receive the Course information, only if you are serious about becom-ing a part time or full time dealer.
