Youth Worker Training

With youth unemployment at a high level, our Youth Worker Training Course provides young people with a high-quality, accredited programme of training and work experience, all delivered using informal education and practical experiences.

Youth Work Practice 2022 Course

National Youth Work Qualifications on the Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF) delivered by the Harrow Club, accredited by National Awarding Body ABC Awards and recognised by the Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC)

″THE COURSE WAS REALLY GOOD!! IT HELPED ME LEARN THE SKILLS I NEEDED TO VOLUNTEER AT MY YOUTH CLUB AND THROUGH THIS I GOT PAID WORK WITH THEM TOO″

The purpose of this work is to…

“Enable young people to develop holistically, working with them to facilitate their personal, social and educational development, to enable them to develop their voice, influence and place in society and to reach their full potential.”

Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK), (2008).

Course Details

The Level 2 Certificate in Youth Work Practice is a youth work qualification on the Qualifications Curriculum Framework (QCF). It is the minimum qualification required for those wishing to work as a JNC Qualified Assistant Youth Support Worker.

The Level 3 Certificate is designed to develop and support the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to fulfil the role of a Youth Support Worker/Worker in Charge within a work or volunteering placement. Learners must also allow personal time to build a portfolio of work-based evidence.

In addition, we are also exploring a course route for those who wish to convert their existing Level 2 Certification Qualification to a Level 3 Certificate. This is only open to those who have successfully completed the new Level 2 Qualification which started in April 2005.

The Outcome

A major success of the course has been the commitment of the young people to finish the whole programme, and we are very proud of a 90% completion rate.

Many of the students carry on this learning with a view to complete further training and even pursue a career in a caring profession. What’s more, 30% continue with their volunteer placements, which directly benefits the local community. Having real work experience with an accreditation and the ability to show development of key skills, has helped many of our young people gain employment after finishing the course.
