Course Description
Distance learning course of 6 units
In order to be accountable to society, any profession must maintain clear standards against which acceptable practice can be measured. �Competences� are the widely accepted form of measurement for the social work profession, and the subject of this module. Among the range of topics this encompasses are principles of learning, assessment, understanding the competence-based approach to professional practice, continuing professional development, supervisory process and methods, and the complexities of self-evaluation and agency evaluation. At every stage in each unit examples are given of the application in practice of the theories, methods and issues under discussion and activities are provided to enable learners to explore in relation to their own experience what may be unfamiliar ideas and concepts.
Tutor Support
With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.
You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!
Assessment Method
After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking.
