Career development and employability skills

These courses are ideal if you are looking for flexible, online study options. Whichever one you choose, it will be delivered in bite-sized chunks and can be started at any time throughout the year, so you can learn at your own pace and quickly gain a qualification. 

These courses are free to most students. However, this depends on your age, the level of qualification you have already achieved, your employment status, benefit status or level of wage status. 

You will have 10 weeks to study the course – if the course is not completed during this time, you will be sent an invoice for £100.

Accredited through NCFE and completed in 10 weeks, this high-quality learning experience is delivered through an online portal where you have access to all relevant resources and assignments for these unit-based programmes. With an assigned mentor and tutor, they will be in touch weekly to discuss your progress and support you through the programme.

You will need to put some time aside each week to complete within 10 weeks and this focused learning experience will give you skills either to put into practice in your current job or use to support a move to a different role.
