Say hello to Jennie...!
How long did your course take you to complete?
"The teaching took me about 7 months, with final units and certification 2 months later. The course was delivered all online, with monthly training days to attend, but I know they do live classes too.
I also had the support of my assessor for 1:1 support and assessment. She was really helpful and also came and visited me in my centre."
This course will be delivered online, and sessions take place either every 3rd Monday from 10 a.m. to 4pm or every two weeks on a Tuesday evening from 6pm to 8.30pm. You can choose which session you want to join."
Is your qualification nationally recognised?
"Yes, by SEG Awards - my certificate is a recognised JNC youth work qualification, providing me with a professionally recognised qualification that has helped me move on in my career. I am now taking on the Level 3."
What is the cost?
"The usual cost for the Level 2 Certificate is £1475 and the Level 3 is £1675. This may sound a lot, but check out my story, I've already made it back in career progression.
However, this programme is fully funded via the Motivate Merton Partnership. But please be aware that if you do not complete the course, you may be required to pay the full course fee, as this is public money and we are accountable for that."
"Hi, my name is Jennie and I used to work as a teaching assistant during the day on a fairly low wage and to supplement my income, I worked 2 sessions at a local youth club. On average, I was earning around £17-£18K a year, working around 40-45 hours a week.
Something had to change, so I decided youth work was a career I really wanted to explore, as I loved working with young people. So I went ahead and booked a session with Ange, one of Need 2 Succeeds advisors, who helped me to explore all aspects of what my career goals were and what the best course pathway to take was.
I settled on the Level 2 programme and after 9 months, I passed with flying colours and this meant two things for me.
One: I was now nationally qualified, meaning my hourly rate went up.
Two: I was able to reduce my hours at the school and take on more sessions at my youth centre as a leader in charge of a few sessions.
I have now embarked on my Level 3, and as a bonus, because I completed my Level 2, the first 4 units count towards my Level 3, meaning I'm already half way through and I've only just started!
Don't put it off. I love my job and I love being a youth worker. Come and join me!"
