Qualifications

Youth Achievement Awards

Youth Achievement Awards is a nationally recognised scheme for accrediting young people's achievements and learning as they participate in youth work programmes. This offers young people the opportunity to be involved in the decision making process; by developing programmes based on their interests. This helps to encourage and empower young people in taking ownership of their activities and learning. There are four levels of the Award & Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

CCEA – Occupational Studies

A new type of qualification rooted in practical and occupational contexts. Designed to relate to the National Occupational Standards and raise levels of achievement, motivation and self esteem.
