About this Event

PDA in Youth Work - National Course - In Person at Balfour House - 17th and 18th August, 14th and 15th September, 12th October and 23rd November


INTRODUCTION

The PDA in Youth Work has been designed for those working with young people in a Youth Work context. It is suitable for people who have experience of youth work in a paid or volunteering capacity but who might not have formal qualifications in youth work.

The PDA in Youth Work offers a nationally recognised, SQA accredited qualification at SCQF Level 6.

Participants will be required to complete all three units and also to undertake a practical placement within their workplace or the youth club/group where they volunteer. As part of their practical placement, they will be expected to deliver youth work sessions and support young people to gain a Youth Scotland award. Training and funding for the young people’s awards will be provided. In order to complete the PDA, participants will be observed delivering youth work in their workplace or the group/club where they volunteer.


***This course is by application form only - this will be emailed to you along with a course flier ***


ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

All applicants/participants must be 18 + * and be able to demonstrate that they:

• Have 1 year experience of regularly working/volunteering in a youth work setting.

• Have completed the Youth Scotland Ready for Youth Work 2-day course (in person or online 6 sessions) or equivalent covering core competencies as per the National Youth Work Induction Checklist.

• Have completed a Child Protection Awareness course in the past 2 years.

• Currently work or volunteer in a youth work setting.

• Have written permission from their workplace or the youth group where they volunteer, confirming they can be observed delivering youth work as part of the PDA course.

• Are able to attend all the outlined training sessions and undertake all the required assessments.

*Young leaders aged 16+ – 18 who you are suitably experienced may also be considered

Youth worker training is in high demand – please help us support youth workers to access the training and development they deserve with these simple steps:


  1. Tell us if you cannot attend more than 24hrs in advance. This allows us to free up the space for another youth worker (many sessions are oversubscribed) and means you will avoid being charged the £25 fee for late-notice cancellation or non-attendance.
  2. Check you can join with camera and microphone. Our online training is engaging, interactive and discussion-based – not a webinar format. Our members regularly tell us this is better learning and we are confident you will gain more.
  3. Eventbrite sends you all your information by email. You will receive your ticket at booking and be sent a reminder – with any login details if online – approximately 24hrs in advance. If there are materials and handouts, your facilitator will send these too.

Thank you for using our training and helping us to continue supporting the needs of our members and community-based youth work.
