Training can be online, in person or a combination of the two depending on your training requirements.
You can enrol as an individual and learn alongside other learners in the same position, or we can deliver closed group training to companies.
The first four units for the Award, Certificate and Diploma are the same. If you choose to complete the Certificate, you will need to choose if you want to continue studying at Level 2* or onto the 3*. The Diploma is taught at Level 3 and is designed for those who are looking to specialise in a specific area or would like to continue studying at University.
*Level 2 is recommended for Youth Workers who are assistant youth workers at a youth project.
*Level 3 is recommended for Youth Workers who are leading in a youth work setting.
