"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."

"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 Level 3."

"The Level 2 Certificate usually costs £1475 and the Level 3 is £1675. While the cost may seem high, I can assure you that I have already recouped my investment through career progression.

However, the fact that you are here means that your organisation has received a Youth Investment Fund (YIF) Grant. The news is wonderful, as it means this course is absolutely free. However, please ensure you meet the qualifications, as our colleagues at YIF will need to approve it.

"After you complete your studies there are various things you can do. If you are doing the Level 2 you can move straight over to level 3, and remember you can use the first 4 units of Level 2 towards your qualification, meaning you don't need to do them again.

If you take the Level 3, Need 2 Succeed are now running a level 4 programme or you can move on to a university or apprenticeship degree programmes."
