I am interested in training to do this. I already work in adult education. Has anyone done the course? I am particularly interested in the assessment part. I did psychology for my degree.

Thanks for your reply - is there a provider you would recommend? I had heard mixed things.

Do you currently work in the field?

I’ve heard good things about Liverpool Hope.
I would’t recommend Birmingham uni. It’s very expensive too

How's the feedback about Liverpool Hope, program-wise and cost-wise? I've been curious about their program as it seemed to be the most flexible out of all the pgcert spld programs I've seen.

Just be sure to cost everything carefully. It is hard to make a full time living as the pay is so low. Very saturated market.
