DAFNE is only possible via attendance. It's a good course but can be awkward if you can't get time off work when the course is running.

BERTIE is run by the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals which is a NHS Foundation Trust.

Having the ability to carb count is a prerequisite for moving to a pump, that is why clinics will insist that you do a course like DAFNE before being considered for a pump, however if you can demonstrate your carb counting skills without doing the 5 day course I'd imagine the pump team would be satisfied enough, so do register on the BERTIE site.
