Career Leaders Programme

This section sets out the programmes of continuing professional development offered by the International Centre for Guidance Studies (iCeGS) at the University of Derby for those tasked with leading and managing programmes of career development in schools and colleges.

iCeGS have designed two programmes which build on our experience of delivering Careers Leaders training. iCeGS have a track record of delivering in person and online programmes. We have run a number of online programmes, including a full Masters degree, for over 15 years. All of our teaching includes blended elements that make the most of new technologies.  

Certificate in Career Leadership

This non-accredited programme is taught in person at various venues around the UK. This is normally arranged directly with local career hubs. This course provides an introduction to a wide range of aspects of career practice and is suitable for new career leaders and more experienced leaders alike. The programme is assessed through a series of reflective exercises and a portfolio. This course is non-accredited. Completers will receive a certificate from iCeGS.

Certificate of Continuing Professional Development in Career Leadership (level 7)

This online course is run at level 7. It provides insight into a wide range of aspects of career leadership and is open to UK and international career leaders. The course is taught online through the University’s bespoke portal. Credits from this course can be used to contribute towards completing the MA in Career Guidance with the University.
