Are you ready to elevate your employability practice and make a real difference in your participants’ journey to sustainable employment? The IEP Certificate in Employability Practice (CertEP) is for you – and registration is now open for our next induction on 10 September.
Tracy Jory MIEP, IEP Learning Academy eLearning Projects and Assessment Consultant, will be hosting this session.
“Come and join our ‘family’ of CertEP’ers!” she said. “This practical and engaging qualification will equip you with proven models and frameworks that you can immediately apply in your day-to-day work to enhance your practice. The CertEP qualification will help you deliver the best possible support to your participants and empower them on their journey to sustainable employment. We look forward to seeing you!”
Designed as a natural progression from the IEP Accredited Employability Essentials, this program is specifically tailored for frontline employability practitioners who are already managing caseloads.
Through a comprehensive four-unit structure covering contracting and caseload management, interpersonal coaching skills, supporting informed decision-making, and finding work, the CertEP helps you tackle the multi-faceted barriers your participants face while providing personalised, culturally-sensitive support.
Success Stories That Speak Volumes
The impact of CertEP training speaks through the experiences of our graduates.
“I found the Certificate in Employability Practice an invaluable course, it really helped broaden my knowledge of how to assist my participants. I believe it would benefit anyone working in the employment industry, providing useful hints on how to probe and motivate your clients to help them move forward,” shares Ian Salsbury MAIEP, Employment Advisor at Seetec Pluss.
Suzanne Barrett MAIEP, Employment Coach, highlights the practical applications: “Completing the Cert EP has been beneficial in how I support my clients, from understanding what I do to how I do it and putting the models into practice. I especially found the modules on the Labour Market and how it is affected by the economy, skills, and technology to be very interesting and has enabled me to signpost my clients to far more realistic goals than before.”
Karen Gourlay MAIEP, Personal Advisor at Fedcap Scotland and past Learning Impact of the Year winner, explains: “It’s given me the confidence and ability to have difficult conversations with people; conversations that people usually shy away from, exploring what their barriers are and trying to overcome these barriers with them.”
Your Path to Professional Excellence
Using a blended learning approach combining online resources with collaborative peer review and traditional face-to-face teaching, the CertEP allows you to apply knowledge in your work environment while gathering evidence of competence against assessment criteria.
