SFEDI Awards is pleased to announce that from 1st February 2012 two new qualifications will be made available to our centre network:
SFEDI Awards Level 4 Diploma In Career Information and Advice (QCF)
SFEDI Awards Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance and Development (QCF)
We recognise that there is a need for those who offer career guidance and support to understand how the process works and act with confidence in what they complete.
The new qualifications are designed to give learners who are working within a career guidance role the opportunity to develop their skills in supporting customers to make informed decisions relating to their career plans and further learning or training opportunities that they may require.
This qualification would aim to qualify those within careers guidance, government agencies and also the new National Careers Service due for launch in April 2012.
Don’t forget that you may have staff within your own organisation who offer career guidance and support through your DWP contracts, for example the Work Programme, that you could use these qualifications for CPD purposes to help build on the service you already offer to your customers.
Further details as to the structure of these qualifications will be available within the Qualifications section of the website within the next week.
If centres are interested in adding these qualifications to their centre offer please contact our Customer Service team on [email protected] or complete and submit the Qualification Application form found within the Centre Documentation section of the website.
If organisations are interested in becoming a Centre of Excellence or a SFEDI Awards Centre then please contact our Customer Service team via [email protected].
