Education

Investing in yourself and your career is the first step to improving your earning potential and employers will always prefer candidates that continue to educate themselves while working. While there are many qualifications out there to improve your earning potential within specific roles, there are some that can completely transform your career and lead you and your salary somewhere completely different. If you’re interested in a change in career or are interested in improving your career prospects and salary, here are a few of the most popular qualifications available to you in Swindon: A Language Having a language under your belt puts you a head above the rest when it comes to looking for jobs and getting a better salary. Global organisations in particular are always looking for candidates with a language because they can be thought of as a link between regional offices and learning another language gives you a great advantage to expand your job responsibilities and increase your salary. While the benefits of different languages often depend on your employer, Mandarin is one that is in increasingly high demand in organisations with global reach while French and German are more commonly requested by organisations based in Europe. PGCE Swindon has many different schools and good quality, passionate teachers are always in high demand. If you have ever thought about a career change, then teaching might be what you’re looking for. Today, the average annual salary for teachers in Swindon is £33,786, which is on the higher end of the scale in the context of the national average that spans between £22,000 and £37,000. With a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, you can begin your career in education and if you continue on to become a head teacher, you can expect to be earning £40,000 and upwards. MBA This internationally recognised qualification is ideal for careers in business and management and the boost that this comprehensive qualification could give your salary is astounding. While fees for this qualification can get quite high depending on where and how you study, graduates from schools accredited by the Association of MBA’s received an average annual salary of £96,000 in 2014. If you’re willing to make a few sacrifices to start and are interested in the world of business, this qualification will help you rocket to the top of the income ladder. Project Management Project management is useful in almost every industry, and with a qualification relevant to project management you stand a good chance of improved career prospects and earning potential. The great thing about Project Management qualifications is that they are versatile and supply you with key skills that you can utilise in any role. There are many different qualifications to choose from to prepare you for different industries, but if you find it hard to make a decision, a PRINCE2 qualification is the highest in demand. PRINCE2 is used in industries around the world and supplies you with organisational skills, analytical skills, communication skills, risk management skills and leadership skills. This qualification can help you bag better paying jobs or increase your appeal as a candidate should an opportunity arise to hire internally for a senior or management role.
