Who are Home Study Uk’s Personal Development Coaches?

Our personal development coaches are all educated to the highest compulsory standard in Further Education to date, which is known as a Cert Ed or PCE. We all have an extensive raft of experience in the workplace in our individual sectors of industry and commerce. In addition we have years of experience of delivering training to some of the largest employers in mainland Britain and for some of the most highly regarded colleges. We are all in possession of an Assessor and Internal Verifiers award from a national awarding body.  Each of us is heavily involved in our own personal development and our continuing professional development which means that we are all consistently in a learning programme so we know exactly how you feel and understand fully why you will be looking for the maximum support you can get at the same time as getting a reasonably priced personal development programme that you can do at your own pace and to suit your own pocket.  Our aim is to make personal development as accessible and fun as possible.

Why Are Your Personal Development Courses Unitised?

Our personal development courses are unitised because unitised qualifications are the future. Already awarding bodies are working on the QCF (Qualifications Curriculum Framework) standards which are all unitised and credit based.  There is no better time to learn than now because a unitised portfolio means that you, the learner, can choose a variety of units from different sectors of work and add a number of credits together to achieve a full award at your own pace, at a time and in a place that is convenient to you. What is even better is that by doing a Home Study personal development course you will also be using your iT skills which not only makes the whole course a lot easier to access and to submit work but also helps to increase your confidence in ICT.  This puts you firmly in control of the direction you want your learning to take, which is especially important when you are doing a personal development course because you need to work at a speed that suits you, not the speed that suits your coach or the college that you are enrolled in.
