Social worker courses

Social workers work with a wide range of people, including children, families, adults, and communities. Social work courses can teach you the skills you need to become a qualified social worker and make a real difference in the world.

These courses typically cover the following topics:

- Human development and behaviour
- Social work theory and practice
- Social policy and legislation
- Research methods
- Communication and relationship-building skills

By taking a social work course, you'll gain key skills in assessment, intervention, communication, ethics, law, research, and advocacy. You'll also learn to work with diverse populations and apply these skills in practical settings in order to support and empower individuals and communities who are facing challenges.

With the right social work qualifications, you could go on to work in a variety of social work settings, such as child protection, mental health, and disability services.
