This course is underaken on a part-time basis, is modular and enables opportunities to Accreditation for Prior Learning (APL) in modules or qualificatoins from previously approved Social Work post qualifying frameworks. APL arrangements are available for up to two thirds of this award for candidates who have successfully completed parts of the previous social work post qualifying framework.
