Training Courses

Mothers Helpers will support you whatever university or polytechnic you wish to study at.  However, for those who are still at home with their children, we recommend the Open Polytechnic to help you to achieve your goals for returning to work, since it is very flexible and you can study from your own home.

We can provide you with work experience in the following fields:

  • Administration
  • Accounting
  • Graphic Design/Web Design
  • Event Management
  • Human Resources
  • Public Relations
  • Management
  • Counselling
  • Social Work
  • Support Worker
  • Early Childhood Education/Nannying 

The following courses we recommend to those who wish to apply for the Training Incentive Allowance (this might be a first step to achieving an overall qualification) via Distance Learning:

National Certificate in Business (First Line Management) (Level 3)

National Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 3)

Otherwise, check your local University/Polytechnic for  a field of study you are interested in that is less than Level 4 to meet the TIA requirements.

 

 

The following courses we recommend to those wanting to pursue a career in a particular field with a Diploma/Degree via Distance Learning:

Bachelor of Business (Accounting and Management) (Level 7)
