Has anyone done or started this course? If you have completed what field are you now working in?
My background is in Montessori education teaching 3-7 year olds, with a special interest in SEN. I have a child with asd&adhd&anxiety and I would like to help children like him and other families going through what we go through. So far a lot of the agencies we have been involved with have no experience of actually living with children like my son so their advice/support is not appropriate or relevant despite them supposedly being experts.
I have read through all of the info on the current modules on this course and I am very interested in signing up. I have 3 children age 10 (the one with Sen), 8 & 18 months. The older two are at school, well the oldest is on a reduced timetable at the mo and he can take up a lot of my time physically and mentally!! The toddler is at home with me, so I'm guessing initially I'll only be able to study part time until she starts preschool in sept 2020. Is it possible to start part time and then if my timing allows take on extra modules to complete the course quicker?
It is BPS accredited but says you need further study to work as a psychologist or counsellor which is of course expected as you need practical experience too, what kind of further study would I be looking at and how would I gain experience? What kind of job can I get with BSc Psychology & counselling without further study? Or could I do study while working in this kind of field?
Thanks for any advice or experience!!
