Certification

This is an information event which holds 6 CPD points and participants will receive an ‘OTC Certificate of Completion’ for inclusion in the student’s CPD portfolio. The certificate will also include the list of learning outcomes upon which the workshop is based.

Further Study Option

For those participants who already possess a level 7 Social Care qualification, there is an opportunity to continue your studies in this area beyond the workshop event.

You can avail of the assessment option which is certified by OTC and is worth the equivalent of 10 ECTS credits  (=250 hours) of student effort at Level 8 (NFQ). Upon successful completion, a student may use these credits against an equivalent module on other programmes offered by OTC for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) purposes.

The assignment will be written over a number of weeks where you will receive significant student supports from the OTC team that will include telephone/email/online tutorials with your assigned tutor in order to guide you through the course content. You will engage in the online supports in your own time in order to enhance your understanding of the topic and help support your successful assignment submission after a number of weeks. This OTC certified option is open to those who have already attended the workshop and carries an additional cost of €150.
