Academic conventions, including Harvard referencing where appropriate, should be observed at all times.

This project consists of three elements; Research, Application and Reflection relating to your chosen or intended career path.

Please read the following tasks carefully and contact your module leader if you need clarification or are experiencing difficulties with the work.

You are required to answer all sections of this fully and draw on external sources of evidence for your thoughts as appropriate.

1. Explain the career path you intend to research and why you have chosen this particular career to research. (500 words)

2. Outline and explain the training and qualification framework of your chosen career (500 words):

• • Why do you think you have the correct attributes to be successful in your chosen career?
  • What qualifications are required to enter your chosen career and what post graduate training is required to be successful in achieving your career goal?

This aspect should include references using the Harvard referencing system.
