If you’re employed within the careers guidance or information services sector and want to advance your existing qualifications, then it’s not too late to enrol at Barnsley College.
The college has places available on a range of Business related courses, including the Level 3 and 4 Advice and Guidance, Level 6 Careers Guidance and Development and the Level 2 and 3 Libraries, Archives and Information Services. These courses are delivered entirely within the workplace, meaning students can study around their existing work and family commitments.
Former student Angela Dakin, a Careers Education Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) Co-ordinator at Kirk Balk Academy said: “As I work in the advice and guidance sector, completing the Level 6 Diploma in Careers Guidance and Development has hugely benefitted the work I do. It’s made me think about how I support clients and impacted upon the way I deliver impartial information, advice and guidance.
“The ongoing support I received from my assessor was excellent and she helped steer me in the right direction. It also gave me the confidence to look at other roles within careers education, leading me to pursue a new pathway. I would recommend this highly recognised qualification to anyone who strives to work or is currently working within this sector.”
Students who enrol to a Level 3 course or above and are aged 19 or over may qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan. Taking out a loan will provide students with the fees to pay for a course that could lead to their dream career.

Launching in March, at least 106 households will benefit from the overall programme, giving an average spend per property of £2,358. External funding of around £575,000 is also expected to be brought in, allowing hundreds more households to benefit. All energy efficiency works will be delivered through the existing Better Homes Barnsley framework and the new Warm Homes and Hospital Discharge team will help to assess need and eligibility for these schemes. The Barnsley energy tariff, the local energy supply offer provided by Great North Energy, will also be available to the residents who benefit from this programme, offering further potential for them to save money and be able to heat their homes to a comfortable level. The programme will be fully evaluated so that further funding can be secured to make it sustainable in the long-term. It will rely on referrals from health professionals and front-line council workers, although residents can self-refer. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “There are currently around 11,500 households in fuel poverty in Barnsley and we also have above average rates of excess winter deaths. “This funding will allow the council to take a more holistic approach to tackling cold homes by joining up with other services to provide heating systems and insulation to the most vulnerable residents living in private sector housing.” Paul Hayes, Chair of Berneslai Homes Board, added: “Last year the Berneslai Homes Board agreed to spend some of its company surplus to support projects aimed at economic regeneration and the health and wellbeing of people in Barnsley. This is the first of those projects aimed at reducing fuel poverty. “We want all residents in Barnsley to have a home that is warm and safe to live in.” This news is linked to Town Spirit. We want to work better together. If everyone in Barnsley does just one thing, together we can make our borough a more welcoming place where people want to live, work and visit.
