Any agency or unit registering to run the Awards for the first time will need to ensure that the staff involved in the direct support and/or internal moderation of the Awards has been trained by UK Youth. Staff must attend an Introduction to Youth Challenges and Youth Achievement Awards training day in order to run the Youth Achievement Awards.
Training can be arranged through UK Youth on either an in-house basis, for a maximum of 12 workers, or individual places can be bought on multi-agency training days which are run on a regular basis across the country.
The training certificates that UK Youth issue are valid for two years only from the date of training. This is to ensure that the Awards are operated by workers who have up-to-date knowledge and experience. These certificates can be renewed for a further two years if workers are able to evidence that they have been actively involved in the delivery and/or moderation of the Awards, and have kept abreast of developments in the Awards and accreditation in the past two years (by attending conferences, moderation events, network meetings etc).
In-house Training
In-house training can be arranged through UK Youth for a maximum of 12 workers and includes training materials and an attendance certificate.
The cost of a full day In-house Training costs £700+ VAT. The cost of a half day In-house Training event costs just £350 + VAT.
