Accredited Learning
Young people spend just 15% of their time in school yet all the learning that takes place in other areas of their lives goes unrecognised and under-valued.
We know young people do amazing things through volunteering, working, helping out family or just organising activities with friends. We believe that getting these achievements recognised is vital.
UK Youth works with a range of awarding organisations to help young people (aged 7 and up) to gain recognition. Our non-formal awards and qualifications are available throughout England and used by a wide range of organisations that work with young people. We offer a full service including training, materials, verification and on-going support. We are also delighted to be able to provide a bursary for eligible young people to benefit from the services and products we sell. Click here for information about our bursary scheme.
