I'm about to graduate with a psychology degree but I am thinking about taking this course to be a qualified youth worker and these are my two closest options.
The Cumbria course is a PG cert (1 year) whereas the Manchester one is a PG diploma (2 years) with the chance to turn it into a MA. But they both give the qualification so I'm thinking Cumbria is a better option to get it quickly and look for work, I don't want to be studying forever.

Has anyone got any experience on either of these courses and could tell me a bit about their experience? Were the placements easily sorted out?

Edit - they are both actually a PG diploma that give me the qualification in one year. Minor confusion there. I'm defintely thinking Cumbria now because I can live at home rent free then. Would love to hear anyones experience of the course either at undergrad or postgrad
