Academic Qualifications: in Partnership with the University of Leeds
WBL City and Guilds Licentiateship in Integrated
Emergency Management (LCGI)
Availability
Regularly Throughout the Year
Introduction
The University of Leeds has Delegated Authority from the City and Guilds’
Institute to offer Senior Awards which are designed for people working in
industrial, business and professional environments. The WBL Unit has,
over many years, successfully used the LCGI as a foundation for progression
to higher academic levels such as the WBL Postgraduate Certificate.
The Licentiateship is offered through supported distance learning;
this allows greater flexibility, as students do not have to take time out
of the workplace to attend taught sessions. Students undertaking any
current EPC course, and who fulfil the entry requirements, will be eligible
to undertake the Licentiateship.
Entry Requirements
-
NVQ level 3
-
A levels, or equivalent, and 5 years relevant work experience, or
-
NVQ level 4 or equivalent and relevant work experience, or
-
Exceptionally (and by interview) mature applicants who do not have formal
qualifications, but can provide satisfactory evidence of work experience
at the appropriate level, will be accepted
Assessment:
3,000 word assignment
comprising a 2,000 word work-based project report utilising learning from
an EPC course, and a 1,000 word reflective review of the learning
experience.
Students are supported through the Licentiateship by the Work-Based
Learning Unit, at Leeds University Business School. This support is given
via a computer-based virtual learning environment.
Several groups of students have already undertaken
the Licentiateship, and their evaluations demonstrate that they are
enjoying and benefiting from the experience.
Good points identified by students are:
-
“friendliness and reassurance of tutors”
-
“clarification of requirements of course” and
-
(it)“put my project into a more realistic size”
Programme fees are available upon application.
Acceptance onto accredited programmes will be confirmed in writing from the
Work-Based Learning Unit.
Applications from organisations who wish to transfer or substitute students
on accredited programmes will be considered subject to University
