It was a great opportunity to hear different perspectives and speak to fellow practitioners about their experiences. I am keen to use AI in my practice and I do see the value, when used with caution.

I really enjoyed the event and could feel the buzz of being with other people who share the same passion of improving careers for young people.

The event was well organised. The panel discussions were well put together and were extremely informative. The workshops were good, and the stalls were well set out. Overall, it was a great conference that allowed career professionals and organisations working with young people to come together and discuss strategies and best practice for delivering preventative and NEET support programmes. Well done!

As always the training was excellent and meet my requirements to allow me to support the students in my role. My tutor was excellent and the feedback she gave me was really helpful and very insightful

Fantastic experience with loads of support.

A very challenging and intense course to complete in a relatively short timeframe. Tutorials were well structured and informative and my assessor was excellent, providing guidance and support as needed. For the sake of future students I would recommend revisiting the suggested word counts to give them a more realistic idea of the volume of work involved.

Good workshop structure and prompt and helpful feedback from assessors.

I joined the Register because I feel it is important for the schools and colleges I work with to know that I am a qualified guidance practitioner and can speak with authority on the subject of careers education and guidance with the backing of my professional body. Being on the Register provides evidence of my qualification level and expertise.

The register is there for prospective clients to research Career Development Professionals and make contact with them for their services – I get three or four clients per year through this route. In addition it is useful for us within the profession to find out more about likeminded experts within our geographical area and make contact with them for networking purposes.
