There are many different careers in Audiology both in the public services
(National Health Service Hospitals and Trusts), 
Community services and Educational Audiology, and in the Private sector.

As far as I am aware there are no one year courses available in the UK
to qualify in Audiology.

I suggest your best bet is to contact

The British Society of Audiology at:

80 Brighton Road, Reading, RG6 1PS, England for further information.
