MA Counselling and Psychotherapy

With the increasing demand for high quality career coaching services, and consequently career coaching courses in the UK, UEL is launching a new course, the Postgraduate Diploma in Career Coaching. This career coaching course, the only one of its kind in the UK, will offer students the chance to develop practical skills supported by a strong theoretical basis that will equip them with the skills to provide an effective and credible career coaching service to clients.

The course has been developed with the employability of graduates at the forefront following the government’s announcement of an all-age guidance service to be implemented in April 2012.This course will give students the skills to competitively seek employment in their desired industry.

The Career Coaching course is offered with flexible study options, much of the teaching will be accessible online, with the distance learning elements supplemented by intensive “skills schools” aiming to give students first class practical skills and a strong network of peers. Teaching will be delivered by renowned academics from both coaching and career disciplines, and supported by practitioners with recent experience of career coaching themselves.

The course will allow students to develop:
Practical skills in career coaching interviews; a theoretical understanding of the prevalent coaching and career theories such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy; a great network of colleagues from all backgrounds; and a comprehensive career-specific resource pack.

For further details of the Career Coaching Diploma and how to apply please contact Julia Yates (email: [email protected]).
