Qualifications for Mums
We have many students who are also working mums. We are well aware that more and more people are finding it difficult to juggle both work and home life and if they want to increase their opportunities then many mums will want to study other subjects for extra qualifications either to improve their career prospects or simply to get out of the rat race and work from home.
How Easy Is It?
It can be quite difficult to juggle family life and education. After all it can be quite a challenge at times to get yourself to work without incurring child care issues, so having the opportunity to study from home at a time to suit you can be a great relief and benefit to many working mums. Home study courses are a great way to study and for many years our experience and feedback has shown that there are many busy people who just love the flexibility of home study courses, especially when you can take your exam at home without the added pressure of a quiet room and being set a time limit. Not everyone works well under pressure so this is one of the easiest and less stressful ways of being educated at home.
What Should I Study?
This really will depend on what you wish to achieve, however we always recommend that you start with something you have a particular interest in, not necessarily something that you just want to make money from. For example a Professional Tarot Reader can make anything from £25 per hour upwards, however if you have no interest in this subject then its most likely you will not only find it tiresome to learn you may not actually end up being a very good reader. Take someone for instance whom has a passion for healing but is not sure how to go about implementing this. You could take a study course such as a basic healing or energy healing course which can then open doors to a whole other world of therapies that you may never have thought possible. A lot of care workers are now incorporating holistic therapies as part of their care package and having an extra skill such as a natural healing qualification may make the difference between being offered a job or not. You may also find that holistic care is also of benefit to the actual one offering the healing. For instance it is well known in holistic circles that Reiki Healers benefit greatly themselves from offering these treatments to clients and can also be used for self healing.
