Youth Work Apprenticeships and Foundation Degrees
Information about apprenticeships in youth work
Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) is responsible for establishing and managing the framework of apprenticeships/modern apprenticeships in youth work across the UK. This includes issuing completion certificates in England and Wales, and registering centres and registering and certificating Modern Apprentices in Scotland.
If you are interested in becoming qualified in youth work, you should first contact the LLUK Information and Advice Service on 0207 936 5798, your local connexions/careers advisor or your local provider of Youth Work Apprenticeships - this might be your local further education college or a private provider.
