I've just finished the Professional Certificate in Support Work and I have to say, it was a really positive experience. As a support worker in Ireland, I was looking for a course that would help me develop my skills in a practical and applied way. This course definitely delivered on that front. The content was well-structured and easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on reflective practice and self-awareness. The course materials were good, although I did find some of the readings to be a bit dry at times. One of the highlights of the course for me was the discussion forum, where I got to connect with other students and share experiences. Overall, I'm happy with my learning experience and would recommend this course to others in the field. Maybe just a bit more attention to making the readings more engaging would take it to the next level!
