The short answer
Check who awards the qualification, its recognition, practical training, full cost and progression routes. Ask for evidence behind placement claims and read the terms; a diploma name alone does not guarantee employment.
Understand the qualification
Ask who awards the qualification, what recognition it has for your intended route and what practical learning is included. Visit the provider or request clear written information.
Read the details
Compare programmes using specific questions.
- What practical facilities and training are available?
- What is included in the total fee?
- How does any internship component work?
- What exactly does placement support include?
Evaluate promises carefully
Placement assistance is different from a guaranteed job. Ask for the actual written terms and evidence behind claims, and make a decision based on the complete programme.
