Overview:

The OCR Level 6 Certificate provides essential training for people who are either new to the careers leadership role or who have many years of experience and would like to have accreditation for their work.

There is significant government and stakeholder support to see the role of Careers Leader as central to improving career education and guidance in our schools/colleges and the school improvement agenda.

In the modern curriculum a Careers Leader provides or advises on strategic leadership and quality assurance and co-ordinates internally and networks externally to provide a coherent programme of careers education and guidance.
