Career Benefits

A Diploma in Sales is a good starting point if you have no, or relatively low, qualifications from before. It may also be just the stepping stone you need to start pursuing further or higher qualifications.  

Teaching Methods

We primarily encourage you to learn through discovery and active practice, rather than being reliant on teachers and textbooks. Tasks are designed to respond to individual learning styles and needs, and we offer constructive feedback acknowledging that making mistakes is a crucial part of effective learning. Resources are available on moodle.

Assessment

The course is formatively assessed to monitor your progress and help you identify those areas that need extra attention. There is also a summative assessment in the form of an exam at the end of each module.  

Transferrable Skills

You will develop a degree of self-reflection and begin to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses. Key skills such as problem-solving, working with others, and functional skills in literacy and ICT are embedded in the course. All of these are skills that allow you to progress in education, training and employment and make a positive contribution to your community.
