Professional Qualifications

Get the knowledge and skills you need to fast-track your career with a professional qualification!

If you’ve got a clear career objective and are looking to up-skill your knowledge for your dream career, then a professional qualification could be the answer.

Awarded by professional bodies, these qualifications give you the chance to gain valuable on-the-job experience through vocational training to work in a specific industry or job.

There are many reasons why you should consider the professional qualification route:

• Many professions require you to hold professional qualifications in order to work within a particular field.
• Gain skills, recognition and contacts – improving your specialist knowledge and career prospects.
• Meet employers’ expectations of continual professional development (CPD) by keeping your skills and abilities relevant and up-to-date.
• Increase your potential earnings or salary – as well as the chance of getting that promotion at work.
• Get on the path of becoming chartered – most professional qualifications require you to be a member of the professional body whilst studying the course.
