Child Psychology Diploma Level 5
This was an engaging and interesting course. The materials easy to use and professional. I would recommend to anyone interested in this field to further their academic and vocational study.
A mash up
I have been a Social Worker for 10 years and I won’t say this course did nothing for me – I do have areas of weakness in respect of younger child’s development and I think this course will have helped rectify some of that. However, as a course, it is poor – some of the information on law and benefits, for example, is from the US and some of it is from the UK – they need to make it clear which audience they are writing for and structure the course accordingly. The ‘tutor’ who appears in later videos isn’t even a clinical psychologist for children.
Other elements of the instruction are clearly taken from other sources and it is very repetitive – the same theories examined minimally over and over again, rather than providing any depth on each topic. There are no extra readings provided during the course and a Child Psychology handbook is simply scanned in when you finish. Would it really have taken that much to identify some relevant freely available journal articles and provide those to us in order to supplement the education we receive.
I think online learning is an essential resource through which busy professionals can fill in learning gaps and that Coursegate have let themselves, students and the children we work with down here. The ‘
