The educational system provides a wide range of opportunities for psychologists. Because the beginnings of serious emotional problems often appear in the early years, many schools employ psychologists whose training combines courses in child development, education and clinical psychology to work with individual children to evaluate learning and emotional problems. In consultation with parents and teachers they plan ways of helping the child both in the classroom and the home. This course offers an insight to this field.
Then this course could be right for you, this flexible home learning course has been designed for people who wish to gain an understanding of principles and practice of psychology as applied to education and learning. No prior knowledge is required.
