Isn't a pass in english all that is needed for most such
courses?
Actually before really going to start a career in social
service, i would advice u to consider starting 1st as a volunteer
for a period of time and ensure that is really your interest before
you consider making it ur career.
As a volunteer myself, i've seen many people who initially had
alot of passion and interest but somehow things don't seem to turn
out as what they were expecting and they slowly loss passion and
interest to quit in the end.
Its best to have some experience, know that its really what you
want before you go invest in time and money for a proper course
since its too late to regret after you have obtained your cert.
Indeed, it's stated on the site that the minimum requirement for
entry to social degree courses on english language is a pass. Even
though it's stated plainly, I do enjoy overcoming the limits of my
own ability, and also intend to head to the States to obtain an
LCSW license to work there, if everything works out as planned.
Afterall, that's where the main branch of social work started. So,
it's really a marathon towards english competency in the short-term
and long-term.
Truth be told, the lofty aspirations in my mind need to be
brought down to the practical reality of the world. I've not
volunteer in any professional organisations, though I do enjoy
conversing with young children and elderly.
I agreed a voluntary session would help anyone seeking a
long-term career in the social service to re-adjust one's
expectations, re-align one's proper vision, and review the decision
before it's being cast in stone. So, dckx, where do you actually
volunteer? Care to share some info?
