Youth Worker Training Centre Programmes Experience

Youth work is a form of education that provides peer group activities and trusted relationships, supported by trained professionals and skilled volunteers, to improve young people’s well-being and personal and social development.

Youth work needs to be (and be seen to be) transformational, harnessing skills of young people not fulfilled by formal education:

The Level 1 Certificate in Exploring Youth Work introduces learners to the essentials of the youth work sector, developed with input from experienced professionals.

By completing the compulsory units, students build a strong foundation, ready to explore more advanced training paths in the future. Open to learners aged 16 years+.

The Level 2 Certificate in Youth Work Practice provides learners with practical skills and knowledge for working effectively with young people. This course provides you with a JNC industry recognised accredited qualification. It covers key areas such as safeguarding, communication, and youth development, preparing learners for entry-level roles or further study in the youth work field.

The Level 2 Youth Work Award offers an introduction to the core principles of youth work.

It covers 4 key Units towards the full Level 2 Certificate qualification:
