Approved training programmes

A professional Community Learning and Development worker should have undertaken a CLD programme at degree or postgraduate level.

There are also a number of professionally approved programmes below degree level. These provide community activists, volunteers and paid staff with nationally accredited training, are an access route to degree level training, and enable training providers to devise programmes of training which reflect the skills necessary for trainees to secure employment at a pre-degree qualifying level.

A range of other programmes are also available at entry level, either to support volunteers or for those new to aspects of CLD work.

You can find all of the courses we have Approved in your area on the map below.
