Everyone will start with the core module in Career Development Theories. The remaining modules can be taken in any order depending on availability.</p> <p>The course involves engaging in workshops, independent study and virtual learning. There is significant individual support available through the course team. Assignments are project-based and are completed following each workshop.</p> <p><strong>Multiple Start Dates<br /></strong>The course starts in April or October.</p> <p><strong>Flexible Approach<br /></strong>This part-time PG certificate can be completed over a period of between 10 and 24 months. A flexible approach is adopted to enable attendance if you are based overseas and/or with full-time work or other responsibilities. Each 20 credit module is taught via a blend of workshop-based and distance learning. The workshops take place at the University of Warwick, usually on a Friday and Saturday. You will start with the Career Development Theories module and 1 or 2 further modules per year depending on how quickly you wish to move through the course.</p> <p>Watch the following video from course director, Wendy Pearson.</p> <p> <div align="left" id="video_799954"> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2KtMyrQlGGs?wmode=transparent&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></p> <p>This video was filmed in 2023.</p> <h5 class="centre">Accreditation</h5> <p><img src="https://warwick.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/courses/pgdip-career-education/content-blocks/cdi.jpg?maxWidth=150" alt="CDI Accreditation " border="0" /></p> <hr /> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade" id="course-tab-2"> <h3>General entry requirements</h3> <h4>Minimum requirements</h4> <p>2:2 in any discipline</p> <p><strong>Or</strong></p> <p>Level 7 Postgraduate Award from the Centre for Lifelong Learning</p> <p><strong>Or</strong></p> <p>Significant professional experience/current employment in a relevant field of work + level 4-6 cognate qualification in a related field + related academic/employer reference.</p> <p>This course is designed for applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including individuals who are currently involved in career development and coaching support, and individuals who wish to work in these areas.
