Young Solutions has developed a range of e-learning training courses for individuals working or volunteering with children and young people.

These short, informative courses aim to build skills, amass knowledge and ensure good practice. They are ideal as an introduction to youth work and cover most of the essential areas for a new volunteer, paid staff member or trustee. They are also great as a refresher for existing staff or volunteers.

The sessions allow individuals to access suitable training and to learn in their own time. Each course takes approximately 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to complete, but individuals can complete them at their own pace. Each session finishes with a short assessment to test the knowledge gained.

Courses are currently available in the following topics:

• The Basics of Good Youth Work
• Safeguarding Adolescents
• Dealing with Challenging Behaviour
• Basic Drug and Alcohol Awareness
• Introduction to Young People’s Mental Health

The courses are all CPD accredited.

The courses are available to our members at a reduced bulk price of £50 for all 5 courses. This allows unlimited access for all volunteers and staff members.

To find out more about the courses or to purchase them, see the e-learning information page.
