PgDip Career Development

Course Overview

The Centre for Career and Personal Development (previously the College of Guidance Studies) at Canterbury Christ Church University has been teaching and training careers practitioners for over 35 years. Our director is a fellow of NICEC and a Foundation Board member of NICE, the European network for innovation in career guidance. We are corporate members of the CDI and hold the current chair of the QCD courses in the UK. We are an active part of the wider career development community but also very much part of the local careers community. In 2014 we launched the Network4Careers; a community of practitioners, alumni, and students. This community meets three times a year, including a conference in the summer. As a student at CCCU, you will have free membership in this network, enabling you to learn more about the sector, meet experienced practitioners and be the first to learn about opportunities in the area.

General Eligibility
