For the first time ever, from 2027, the Diploma in Pharmaceutical Medicine (DPM) exams are being offered twice in one year, with a brand-new Spring exam diet joining the established Autumn sitting.
To mark this launch, we’re introducing our limited-time Spring Saver Bundle.
This Spring Saver Bundle will allow you to book the DPM Training Programme on-demand together with your Spring 2027 exam(s) at a reduced package price.
Achieving the DPM is considered a landmark achievement for any physician undertaking a career in pharmaceutical medicine. It affirms their knowledge and expertise in our specialty, and their commitment to enhancing the health of society.
Important: this is an exclusive exam + training package. The Spring Saver Bundle can only be booked if you are also registering for at least one Spring 2027 DPM exam. This discounted training programme is not available on its own as part of this offer.
The training programme is not mandatory to sit the CPM or DPM exams, but for those looking for a structured route to success, this bundle provides excellent value.
During the booking process, you will select which exam(s) you wish to take.
Please ensure you have reviewed the FAQs on our dedicated exam FAQs page, alongside the FAQs available at the bottom of this page.
The Programme Structure
As part of the Spring Saver Bundle, you will receive access to the complete 2026 programme on demand, allowing you to study at your own pace. Your enrolment includes:
- Recordings of all live teaching sessions delivered in 2026
- Presentation slides and supporting course materials
- Downloadable learning resources
- Knowledge quizzes
- Mock examinations with marking and feedback available through the Learning Management System
Please note that only the programme portion of the Spring Bundle is offered on demand. You will not attend live teaching sessions, and access to the training programme does not allow you to sit the DPM examinations at any time. You must take your examination(s) on the published Spring 2027 exam dates.
The programme is mapped to the PharmaTrain syllabus – the foundation for the CPM and DPM exams – and is designed to enhance knowledge across six broad topic areas. It also includes exam technique modules focused on strategies and question practice for the three types of papers featured in the CPM and DPM exams.
- Module 1 – Statistics and Data Management
- Module 2 – Regulatory Affairs
- Module 3 – Discovery and Early Development
- Module 4 – Clinical Development
- Module 5 – Drug Safety
- Module 6 – Communication, Value, and Access
- Modules 7-9 – MCQ, SAQ, CAP Exam Preparation

See why past delegates valued being able to watch sessions back:
Balancing revision with a demanding job can be difficult, so having access to recordings and on-demand content was invaluable. It meant I could study at times that suited me and focus my revision where I needed it most. The flexibility of the Learning Hub allowed me to maintain momentum even during particularly busy periods at work.
- James Wadkin
Being able to revisit sessions, work through the practice questions and complete the mock exams around my other commitments gave me much more control over my revision. It also meant I could spend more time on the topics I found most challenging.
- Lydia Spurr
It allowed me to revisit topics and discussions in my own time. Another amazing resource they provide is all the previous years’ SAQ questions, per module. I was able to work through these questions, ascertain any common ‘hot topics’ that kept coming up year after year and get some real exam practice!
- Soha Damany
How will you learn?
Programme content is delivered through FPM’s Learning Management System (LMS), also known as the FPM Learning Hub, offering participants the flexibility to study at their own pace while accessing focused support and high-quality learning resources.
As part of your Spring Saver Bundle booking, you will gain access to Modules 1-9 on the LMS all in one go. Please note, if you book over the weekend, you will gain access to the programme the next working day.
All live sessions delivered across the 2026 programme will be available to view as recordings, along with the delivery materials.
Modules 7-9 will be offered as one module on the LMS. The module contains the live session recordings and materials, as well as a mock MCQ exam, a mock SAQ exam, and a mock CAP exam. You can complete the mock exams as many times as you like for revision purposes, and your answers will be marked in the system.
You are free to complete all the mock exams if you so wish, but naturally you may choose to focus on the mock as relevant to the examination you are sitting.
