CertHE NCT Perinatal Education and Practice

... United Kingdom
... University of Worcester

Course Overview

Our course qualifies you to work professionally with parents during the first 1,000 days of pregnancy into parenthood. NCT, in partnership with the University of Worcester, brings you the teaching, learning and professional development opportunities in parenting education.

NCT is the UK’s leading charity for parents, established in 1956 NCT supports parents from pregnancy to birth and beyond, providing parents with accurate, impartial information through courses and classes. NCT brings parents together to make vital and lasting friendships and campaigns on behalf of parents, believing that everyone can, and should, feel supported in becoming a parent.

Our unique NCT Perinatal Education and Practice course has been designed to allow you to develop a role as an NCT Practitioner, enabling you to support, inspire and guide new parents through pregnancy and the early days of parenthood. On successful completion of the course, you will be issued an NCT Licence to Practise and will be able to provide services for parents such as our highly valued antenatal courses.

The course is designed to qualify NCT practitioners, so most students go on to work within NCT in one or more practitioner roles. The course enables graduates to apply for an NCT Licence-to-Practise.

In the field of ‘supporting parents in the transition to parenthood’, the skills demonstrated by NCT practitioners are widely acknowledged and laid out in the NCT Competency Standards Framework.

Graduates will have developed skills transferable to a range of careers in the early years and childcare sector, as well as being transferable to any working environment. These key transferable skills include:

  • Communication and interpersonal skills

  • Organisational and time management skills

  • Skills of reflection and evaluation

  • The ability to accept feedback

  • The ability to critically analyse research and evidence

  • Awareness of personal and professional boundaries

The ability to take responsibility for professional development

The programme also opens up work and training opportunities within the health and social care sector.
