Introduction to the Peer Qualification Programme
The BTEC Intermediate Award in Peer Education has been nationally available since 1999 and over 150 young people have received accreditation through the Award. The BTEC Intermediate Certificate in Peer Mentoring has been nationally available since 2003 and over 50 young people have received the Certificate in Peer Mentoring. Both BTEC programmes are open to young people aged 16 years old and over. The BTEC programmes focus on assisting young people to realise that they can undertake educational opportunities whilst being involved in peer education and/ or peer mentoring youth based projects. The structured framework encourages young people to develop a diverse range of skills whilst involved in informal projects based on their interests. Experience has shown that through this programme, learners are motivated to achieve results and normally progress to other learning development opportunities. These programmes are particularly successful with young people who would often not have the confidence, knowledge and/or skill to access more formal learning opportunities.
