Why do an apprenticeship
The Career Development Professional level 6 higher apprenticeship is for individuals who want to train to be career advisers or career leaders and are currently working in a career development role. The qualification is approved by the Career Development Institute and gives eligibility to the Register of Career Development Professionals.
There is a misconception that apprenticeships are for school leavers, are career entry level or are just for tradespeople, but this is no longer the case. Apprenticeships are a great way of developing as a professional and gaining a degree-level qualification. They also provide the flexibility to do it alongside your job.
Call of the Wild offers a flexible approach to your apprenticeship – you can start whenever suits you, our training and assessments are all online and we adapt our delivery to your learning style.
Duration
18 to 24 Months

Feedback
“I have really enjoyed my learning experience completing my diploma with COTW and with Anne as my assessor. It’s an excellent course, a great delivery platform and I will highly recommend it to all. I hope to get to meet Anne in person one day to thank her properly.”

“I have recently completed a Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance through Call of the Wild. I have been working with assessor Anne Tanner over these past months and I wanted to contact you to say what a superb job she does. Anne has been supportive, encouraging, flexible, reliable and a pleasure to work with through my studies. As a leaner, I could not have asked for anything more. She is a great asset. Thanks to you all and best wishes.”
