Options after CYPW Diploma?
 

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if there is anyone that can give me some advicefor role or job career progression please?

I have almost finished my level 3 and would like to know what my options are other than the Degree?

I did want to go onto assessing but there are no vacancies for the forseeable future. This is really getting me down as I really need to move from my setting ASAP.

Thankyou for any replies in advance. :wave:
