2-year BACP accredited MSc counselling vs 1-year MSc psychological therapies course

Hello, I was just curious as to whether there are many job opportunities for graduates of these programmes: a) 2-year BACP-accredited MSc in counselling
B) 1-year unaccredited MSc in psychological therapies
particularly for international students who want to settle in the UK and need to find visa-sponsored jobs for positions as mental health support workers, assistant psychologists, or other related roles as soon as they finish their studies. To give you some background, I already hold an MA in psychology (major: clinical psych).
If both of these courses open up an equal amount of opportunities and teach same almost same modules, wouldn’t it be wise to opt for the one-year course even though it’s not accredited? This way one year fees could be saved.
