We are thrilled to announce new training opportunities at Victoria Community & Youth Center for our dedicated volunteers and the broader community. Beginning this October, we offer 10 spots for individuals interested in pursuing a Level 2 Award in Youth Work Principles and a Level 3 Diploma in Youth Work Practice.
Level 2 Award in Youth Work Principles
This six-month course is perfect for new volunteers, part-time youth workers, or those relatively new to working with young people in youth voluntary organisations.
Upon completing the Level 2 Award, participants can progress to the Level 3 Diploma in Youth Work Practice.
Level 3 Diploma in Youth Work Practice
This 12-month course is designed for individuals who have worked with young people, either in a paid or voluntary capacity, for over a year.
