PQ Directory

Skills for Care are producing a national Directory of PQ programmes. This will have 2 purposes:

To enable potential candidates for awards and their employers to locate appropriate programmes.
To enable universities to publicise programmes which they are providing.

Below is a table of universities by region offering PQ programmes that have been approved by GSCC.

The table and associated documents saved here were up to date as of mid July 2007, but updates will continue, and the directory itself will be available in a fully searchable format at the Skills for Care website in the autumn of 2008.

Please use the blue links within the table to find out more about specific programmes and/or modules, and use the back button to return to the table after viewing documents.
