THE NATIONAL YOUTH AGENCY: Youth Work Qualifications

1 min read

Most people will be familiar with the NYA/RAMP part-time certificate in youth work. This system is now coming to an end, as The NYA is ceasing to act as an awarding body for qualifications. Existing part-time certificate courses can run until the end of this month, but all assessment and certification must be completed by the end of July 2003.

From that date, the appropriate qualification for locally qualified status under JNC will be Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQs) and new National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) at Level 2 and Level 3. These VRQs/NVQs are aimed at all those involved in youth work. The Level 2 award is for individuals working directly with young people in a variety of assistance roles. The Level 3 award is aimed at those working in front-line services, but who are also likely to be responsible for others and involved in the development and promotion of their organisation.
