Who is this qualification for?

If you are interested in working with children and young people but have not yet fully decided on a particular job role preference, this course is for you.

The course will help you achieve a formal qualification to show you have the skills needed to work in early years' education, childcare and play work. You will also gain placement experience without committing yourself to a particular aspect of working with children.

Youth & Playwork is ideally suited to a wide range of learners, including adult learners, school leavers with little work experience, 14-16 year-olds who are interested in this area, and those who appreciate the support offered by a mediated learning experience.

What the course offers

• A basic awareness of potential careers in working with children and young people aged 0-15 years.
  
• The opportunity to gain a ‘flavour’ of the differences between settings and apply relevant skills in their work with children and young people.
  
• Skills common to both early years education and childcare and play work.
  
• A framework to gain the knowledge and understanding required to become a useful worker in this sector.
  
• The opportunity to prove your ability, under supervision, in a work related setting. 
  
• An recognised qualification to help develop your employment prospects.
  
• Access to further training at a higher level.
