Warnborough College believes in Lifelong Learning (‘competencies’) in the pursuit of knowledge for both personal and professional development. Dr Brenden and his colleagues can advise you on options to meet your needs, including a competency-based degree (CBD).
Lifelong Learning is a formal and/or informal activity undertaken throughout life, with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competencies/achievements within a personal, civic, social and/or employment-related perspective.
The importance of Lifelong Learning
Lifelong learners are motivated to learn and develop themselves, to enhance their understanding of the world around them, and to improve their career, skills and quality of life, and even acquire a ‘competency-based degree’.
Benefits?
There can be many reasons why people dedicate their time to increasing their knowledge, both personal and professional, and learning beyond the traditional school years. There are countless benefits for the learner-focused in his or her professional life. Such as acquiring new knowledge, a higher degree, maintaining and improving skills through short courses, obtaining a higher salary and status. This enhances respect in the community and among colleagues, and standing out from ‘the crowd’.
What does it mean to be a Lifelong Learner?
An individual who is voluntary committed, self-motivated in the pursuit of knowledge for either personal and/or professional reasons.
How can I become a Lifelong Learner?
Make Lifelong Learning a priority. Set goals and targets with a ‘road map’ for achievements. Be curious, challenging and develop insights into all your areas of interest. Keep a record of your progress and accomplishments.
How can I use my ‘competencies’ to obtain a qualification?
Contact Dr Brenden about advanced placement (RPL) and credits toward a degree. Learn about ’competency-based degrees’ (CBD). These degrees are highly recognized by universities, commerce, industry, and the professions – valued because they illustrate, skills, determination, and attainment.
