FITC are working in Partnership with Children's Services, the PRU and Haven High School to give youngsters that are on a reduced timetable at school the opportunity to obtain a vocational qualification in Sports. The young people aged between 14-16 years are working towards an NVQ in Sport, where they choose 3 different sports and perform different tasks which include learning the different aspects of a warm up, health and safety in sport plus other aspects of sport.
We are using the Youthtrain programme as it recognises that young people are individuals and that they require different levels of support and ways to acheive their goal. With this in mind, the course offers units of accreditation, from Entry Level to Level Three, which are achievable in 30 hours of learning throughout the year. The young people on the programme also attain an NVQ in Art and Music working on other 30 hour courses, to give them a wider range of qualifications and skills.
