Certificate or NVQ?

default-16x9

I am considering which training course to take - I have experience as a TEFL teacher and with training in Libraries. I am interested in both corporate training and 'basic skills' training as possible careers, but am unsure which qualification to go for.
From my research I can see an equal number of jobs asking for either the CITP or C&G.
Does anyone have any advice?

many thanks,

Emma

    Take a look at what Job Adverts often ask people to possess to give you some guidance here.

    Gary is right to suggest looking at job ads. It does seem that most prefer CIPD qualifications/membership.

  3. Both are valid
    I have the CPT and I’m working towards the level 4 Learning & Development award – both are very useful qualifications to have!

    The CTP is a good ‘starter’ and gives you associate memebership of the CIPD.

    Personally, I have found the NVQ to be more relevant and it has opened more options as I’m now a qualified NVQ Assessor and Internal Verifier.

  4. CTP traininer willing to give more info
    I am a free lance (and unbiased) CTP trainer and would be happy to discuss the course in more detail with you – off line – if that would be helpful. This would at least build one side of the picture for you. If you do, perhaps the web moderator can pass on my e-mail adress.
