Course Structure - explains the awards avaliable, the credits in each award, how to order books and how the assessment process works
We have started to develop some worksheets that may be beneficial to youth workers who are planning to run short courses. Please note these worksheets have been desinged to suit the needs of particular organisations and groups of young people and some of them may not be relevant for the young people you work with.
As more workers start to use the award booklets we hope to develop an extensive library of worksheets, so if you have designed any don't keep them to yourself please share them with others, just email them over to us and I'll add them to the site.
