"I help health and social care professionals to choose the right Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses. Many people call to find out which聽courses can top up their diploma into a degree, or for further information about research postgraduate options. Others need to update their skills to remain members of a professional body or to specialise in a new area.
"You don鈥檛 need all your certificates to hand when you call: I can find out what qualifications you have and where you鈥檝e worked. Often, we鈥檒l then meet face-to-face so we can discuss where you want to be.
I can advise on the short courses we offer, which don鈥檛 bear credits but teach new workplace skills, and flexible study options. I also help international professionals carry out qualification comparisons.
