From 14-19 diplomas, which offer better employability prospects, to diplomas of higher education which are equivalent to completing the first and second year of a university degree (or completing a foundation degree), there are many diplomas to choose from. Diplomas are also very diverse and can range in subject from a Level 2 English Language diploma to an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design.
Many diplomas are also arranged so that they can act as a stepping-stone to getting a higher-level qualification such as a bachelor’s or master’s degree, which may be ideal for people aspiring to a career change but lacking the qualifications to do so; as well as those seeking to gain some practical skills.
You can gain a diploma either online or in an institution such as a university or college, allowing for a great degree of flexibility around how, when and where you study. Some of the online diplomas which are available here at CoursesOnline include:
- Diploma in SAGE
- Level 3 Diploma in Human Resource Practice
- Level 7 Diploma in Professional Consulting
- Level 6 Diploma in Business Management
- Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care
- Level 3 Diploma in Psychology
What can I do with a diploma?
The scope of what you can do after you complete your diploma depends greatly on the type and level of your diploma. Diplomas generally go from entry-level (below GCSE) to level 8, which is equivalent to a PhD or Professional Doctorate. For that reason, the things you can do with a diploma also vary greatly.
Many people go on to study the next diploma level (or go on to do a traditional degree) after completing their diploma. However, you don’t necessarily need to go onto further study, as one great advantage to gaining a vocational qualification is how much work experience you acquire; which is greatly valued by employers. Therefore you can complete your diploma and head straight into full or part-time work or work your way up in the workplace.
Why should I study a diploma?
People all over the world are choosing diplomas rather than traditional degrees or apprenticeships nowadays, and there are many reasons why.
- Balance of Practical and Theoretical Study: Diploma programmes are a great balance between the academic and the practical, meaning that you gain theoretical knowledge whilst gaining work experience at the same time. Unlike an apprenticeship, you aren’t employed and training specifically on the job, however, you still get to gain work experience through work placements and practical workshops and learn the practical applications of your studies.
- Require Less Time and Money: Another great benefit to studying a diploma rather than a degree course is that it costs less in tuition fees and takes less time to complete. For a postgraduate diploma, for example, you are looking at around £5,000, compared to a master’s degree which is generally £10,000 to £12,000.
