Learning outcome

Individual Learning Records (ILR's) Throughout the course, young people work through a logbook every week. These skills can be gained at SCQF Level 3, 4 or 5. Young people work on and improve these skills throughout the programme and gather naturally occurring evidence to back up their logbook work. Evidence is gathered in the form of video footage, photographs, flipcharts, phone logs, letters etc. The young people will generate two types of evidence - team and individual evidence. Throughout the programme the change in a young person can be fantastic, shy individuals on day 1 usually leave on the last day of week 18, confident, motivated and ready to go back to work or college and get their life on track! Each individual carries a success story of their own which proves they have gained experience and confidence from the course. This enables them to achieve their goals. Once you've successfully completed the Prince's Trust Team Programme, you can choose to:
- Move onto a HIVE course
- Move onto a Level 4/5 course
- Look for a job, apprenticeship, place with other training providers or volunteering opportunities. For further information on this course please contact:
