FETAC Course after doing H.Dip

electoralshock

I have just completed the Professional Diploma in Education (Known as the H.Dip).

I have begun to send out CV's and applied for Jobs seen on the websites and newspapers.

Been realistic I know I probably won't even get an interview.

Going back to college to do a Masters is out of the question for money reasons and experience needed to Masters in Education.

I am thinking of applying to do a FETAC course (Level 5) in Youth Studies.

I know I will be driven mad in September if I have nothing to do.

I wonder is this a good move?

I be grateful of any suggestions!

Thanks

Personally I don't a Level 5 course would really make your CV stick out from others.

I think you would be better off contacting schools about doing subbing, join your subject association and try and do as much CPD as possible. ICEP do online courses which probably would look better on the CV and are inexpensive.

I never knew them courses existed.

Looking at the ICEP website the courses seem relevant and are flexible.

I am excited of doing one now.

I plan to go around to schools and see if they have any subbing.

Thanks a million for your advice.

It might be worth investigating whether there is a Teacher Centre too, they co-ordinate subbing to some extent. I don't know who runs them, if you know any teachers, or ring one of the local schools and ask do they get subs from a teacher centre.
