How to book

  1. View available courses (Core and Advance Methods course as well as Writing Skills courses) and course outlines including meeting dates/times, pre-readings, etc. on the Training Page of the LISS DTP website.
  2. Follow enrolment links in the course outline to register via SkillsForge -OR- visit SkillsForge directly to find your desired course.  
  3. Contact the LISS DTP Team for the meeting link if you have not received this 24 hours before your course’s first session via liss-dtp [at] kcl [dot] ac [dot] uk

Important Information for QMUL and Imperial LISS DTP funded students:
If you are a student registered at QMUL or Imperial and have already supplied your QMUL or Imperial ACCESS Forms to us, you should have received your K number and KCL email address, and therefore have access to SkillsForge.

If you haven’t returned the completed KCL ACCESS Forms 23-24 to us, please do as soon as you can. We will then liaise with King’s Student Registry to set up your record (including K number and KCL email address), and thus your access to SkillsForge.

In the meantime, we recommend you email your course choices to the LISS DTP Team directly liss-dtp [at] kcl [dot] ac [dot] uk, so that we can share course information and meeting links in time. We can register you manually onto the courses of your choice on SkillsForge at a later stage, when your King’s visiting research student account is set up.
