How is the course structured?

This course is offered as a blended learning programme.   The on-line sessions will include a pre recorded presentation, followed by face to face on line training with your group and trainer in real time.  In these sessions you will explore the issues raised in the presentation and look at how to evidence your learning for assessment.  You will receive a workbook to accompany the training and provided with access to a bank of resources. Your named assessor will support you throughout, helping you to plan your work and providing constructive feedback.

How is my work assessed?

You will provide evidence of your work practice through observations, assignments, case studies, written accounts and providing work products. Evidence is uploaded to an e-portfolio.  Should your submitted work not meet the standard required, your assessor will guide you on what needs to be done before you re-submit.

The trainers are helpful, supportive and have allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge, which will make me a better practitioner for my clients. I would highly recommend CDI training and am so pleased with the experiences I have had." Kate Perry 

"The CDI L6 Careers Guidance and Development course has been of great benefit to me and although a lot of work, it has been very enjoyable. The trainers are approachable and friendly and are experts in the careers sector - they have a huge depth of knowledge which they are happy to share. The course is very well organised with lots of communication so that you never feel isolated." Sarah Calvert
