With today’s continually changing labour market, along with and reforms in education and skills, careers guidance practice has become an increasingly significant part of education, employment, and training.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Career Guidance Practice will develop your understanding and the skills required for one-to-one interactions and designing and delivering career and employability-related education programmes and learning activities. The course will equip you with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and qualities required of a practitioner in a range of work settings. You’ll benefit from a flexible approach to your studies with blended learning that enables you to balance studying with other commitments.
The course is designed for those currently working within career development and employability, as well as those looking to enter the sector.
You will need an undergraduate degree equivalent to a UK undergraduate honours degree or other equivalent higher education qualification e.g. HND / DipHE.
Applicants without such qualifications will be considered but will be required to evidence relevant work experience in a related field, and demonstrate their motivation and ability to study at postgraduate level.
Via the admissions process, all suitable applicants are invited for an interview, which takes place at a convenient time via a Teams or phone call. This is an opportunity for the applicant to discuss their application and motivation to study the course and to have questions about the course addressed. Areas for discussion include the applicant’s understanding and interest in the following areas:
DBS checks are mandatory for this course. If a DBS check indicates that a student is unsuitable to work with young people or vulnerable adults, their case will be reported to the Dean of the School of Social Sciences and the student will be required to withdraw from the course.
