(PRWEB UK) 16 July 2012

Up to 70 people are chasing each job vacancy in Britain today*, while the CIPDs Learning and Talent Development Survey 2012 shows that employees receive an average of just 24 hours of training per year. This high level of competition, and increased onus on the individual to enhance their skills, is the reason Home Learning College has produced a free guide for ambitious professionals. Boosting Your Career: What Employers Want to See on Your CV contains advice on personal development and outlines the positive impact of gaining professional qualifications.

Home Learning Colleges own research reveals that three quarters of adults in employment say it is harder to move jobs nowadays without the right study credentials. A further survey of 500 recent Home Learning College students shows almost half (43per cent) have more confidence when applying for jobs thanks to their new qualification.

Topics covered in the guide include:

With competition for jobs so fierce, professional qualifications can make a real difference to someones employment prospects and career progression, says Academic Director Dave Snow. Professional accreditations exist for most industries and can often be gained in a relatively short period of time when compared against academic courses such as GCSEs, A Levels or degrees. Modern distance learning techniques also mean that study can be fitted around even the busiest lifestyles.

Lynda Smith gained her CIM Certificate in Marketing with Home Learning College. She comments: Prior to this course I had gained many years of practical marketing experience, but no professional qualifications. Achieving CIM Certification has added tangibility to the mix, enhancing my role and job satisfaction. As well as enhancing my CV, it has provided grounding for future studies.
