How the course works
The course consists of informative text for you to read, which are backed up by self assessment exercises which help to check that you've understood the text.
Location
You study the course at home. You don't attend a classroom. This means
you can study when it's convenient for you, rather than have to get
to classes at places or times you may not be able to get to.
Is there any further reading?
You don't have to do further reading, but you will get more out of
the course if you do so.
There are many other opportunities for people who study this course.
With parents lacking the kind of support they once had from grandparents and neighbours, they're often desperate for answers.
In the absence of a child psychologist, parents turn to teachers, teaching assistants, youth workers, child minders and counsellors.
People in these professions need to understand child psychology. If you work in a area that deals with young people, and you're able to provide solutions to these problems, you'll greatly improve your chances of getting a job, getting promotion or succeeding in self-employment.
