We are pleased to announce that the registration to study the advanced qualification is now open.
Community Governance offers a range of qualifications which are all distance learning with residential study days. The qualification looks at the way in which people and organisations work together and independently, making decisions for the benefit of a local community. Study for a qualification awarded by De Montfort University (DMU), ranked Gold under the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF):
- Certificate of Higher Education (Level 4)
- Foundation Degree (Level 5)
- Honours Degree (Level 6)
Choose your qualification – students are able to achieve the Level 4 qualification without pressure to proceed to Levels 5 and 6.
Samantha Heynes PSLCC, Clerk to Cuckfield Parish Council, has recently completed year 1 of Community Governance Level 4 and says, ‘I have learned so much already. Whilst CiLCA gives you a great grounding in the role of the clerk, this takes it to another level. I feel much more confident about the advice I offer councillors and how best to support them in running the council. I was hesitant about starting but have no regrets – whilst it is hard work it has been thoroughly enjoyable. Meeting fellow clerks on the same journey has been an enormous support and continues to be with the day-to-day queries that are part of our normal day in the office.’
