Why study Advanced Social Work Practice (Practice Education) PGCert at 港彩全年历史图库?

This programme facilitates the transition of qualified social worker from being enabled by others, to becoming enablers of others, by meeting the practice education requirements as set out in the Practice Education Professional standards (PEPS). This is done primarily through being the trainee Practice Educator of a student social worker on placement with you for 100 days. Enhance your professional social work skills and develop your capacities in critical reflection, supervision and professional leadership, so that you can practice at a specialist level and improve outcomes for users of services.

Enhance your professional social work skills and further your career by honing your skills in critical reflection, research, supervision and professional leadership.

Our academic staff and practitioners bring a wealth of experience and knowledge, and our long-standing and strong ties with local authorities, charities and independent agencies ensure our courses provide the most current policy and practice in social work. Teaching staff are very supportive and do their best to ensure you succeed.

Upon graduation, you will have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to apply for specialist practitioner roles and/or more advanced social work positions such as those within management.

Many of our graduates continue working as a Practice Educator before using the experience gained to apply for advanced social work positions such as those within practice management.

Student Testimonials

Sherine, Marsha and Victor are Social Workers working in different organisations across London. They were part of a cohort of 20 Practice Educators who graduated in July 2022.   

“Studying, working full time and mentoring a student during the Covid pandemic did have its challenges, but my journey has been enriching and so rewarding. It has been an absolute pleasure being part of this cohort and having the peer support and guidance from other students and the course lecturers. I am really excited about the future and my continuous journey as a Practice Educator." (Sherine)
