Or are you hoping to find work in the Adult Education sector and looking for a relevant qualification?
If so, the Professional Development Award (PDA) in Adult Learning in Scotland: an Introduction at SCQF level 6 is an exciting new qualification that could provide a solution.
It’s a new qualification that introduces learners to policy contexts, theories and methods, as well as covering practical areas such as the planning, delivering and evaluation of adult learning sessions with individuals and groups. The units in the PDA align with the Community Learning and Development Standards Council for Scotland (CLDSC) ethics and competencies which inform the practice of all community workers.
The PDA will help employers meet skills gaps and provide continuing professional development for staff, while learners will gain knowledge and skills needed for progression in the workplace. It is also available to people who are in training and who wish to gain employment in the adult learning sector. There are several progression routes to further study. This is a level 6 qualification, and you will need to be confident in your ability to study at that level.
