This innovative two-year part time BTEI course examines the provision of youth work. The part time course aims to give training, up-skilling and confidence to learners enabling them to take up meaningful work in the youth work area, and/or pursue further studies.
The course will examine the theory and practice of youth work and outdoor education to help us better understand the potential of outdoor activities to deliver youth work outcomes.
The course will enable students to gain a critical awareness of the way in which youth work operates and how it can be supported through adventurous experiences.
Learners are also enabled to improve their communication skills, self-awareness, critical reflection, and interpersonal skills, all of which are central to working in a youth work and outdoor learning setting.
To equip students with the skills to work with young people in an outdoor environment, students will have the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of outdoor settings.
