CLOCK Competent Practitioner

CLOCK Competent Practitioner: Development Programme for Mid-Career Professionals

CLOCK Competent Practitioner is a programme for creative professionals to gain recognition and validation for professional achievements. Participants can demonstrate their industry status to clients, employers, and peers and transform creative work and projects into internationally accredited qualifications.

Who is it for?

This programme is for professionals starting a new role with greater responsibility, developing or growing a business, or producing and delivering creative projects.

Skills Development

Participants who need to develop their skills further before they can achieve the CLOCK Competent Practitioner award (that the programme offers) can work with a CLOCK mentor on their skills development. CLOCK mentors and peer reviewers benchmark a participant’s current creative practice or enterprise skills and create a personalised mentoring and skills development plan. Participants are supported to acknowledge strengths and build more confidence in areas which need development, realise the depth of knowledge and expertise, and feel empowered to take on more challenging roles or projects.

Achieve Competent Professional Status

Participants who complete a skills development and mentoring programme attend a CLOCK boot camp where they can achieve CLOCK Competent Practitioner status and award (equivalent to higher education level 5).
