Overview
The Module “Management of Information, Institutional and Regulatory Conditions” is
aimed at qualified counsellors with counselling experience and practice and who will
be prepared for BD-BG counselling. Basic knowledge of educational pathways,
qualifications and professions is taken for granted.
Content of the module with its four courses:
1. Introduction to information management
2. Knowledge of valid and reliable information sources in selected countries
3. Knowledge of legislations pertaining to education, training and work at local,
national and international levels
4. Knowledge of equivalence of degrees and professional qualifications obtained in
different countries
shall be knowledge and monitoring of important regulatory framework and related
information sources and networks in the context of international mobility. In addition
is the ability to provide adequate information regarding the individual needs of the
client, considering ethical principles of counselling and guidance. Counsellors should
be able to decide how much help the client will need to find and use the information
provided and to avoid information overload. Another important issue is information
marketing reaching the target groups. Not only skilled professionals are target groups
of counselling offers but their families will be too if they are accompanying them as
well. Finally counsellors should be able to evaluate if the consultation was helpful.
It is assumed that the lecturers have in-depth knowledge of career development and
counselling theories, career-related information systems (national and European), as
well as good knowledge of counselling practice.
The learning units consist of lectures, discussion, self study time and practical
exercises.
The Module requires individual access to the Internet. The classroom must have an
internet connection and preferably a projector.
