About this event
About the Impact and Improvement Training Course:
Our Impact and Improvement Training Course is specifically designed for informal and non-formal youth provision within the UK. The training sessions will build your knowledge and skills to:
- design youth provision
- undertake quality monitoring
- design appropriate evaluations
- collect relevant and quality data
- identify and embed organisational learning.
Each course is also available as a stand alone to allow you to fill any gaps you might have in your skills and knowledge. Context mapping and Theory of Change are foundation courses that underpin all the others so please ensure you are familiar with these ideas.
NCFE Accreditation Opportunity:
We are excited to be able to offer this course with an accredited approved qualification awarded by NCFE. To gain this accredited outcome, you will work through knowledge-based assessments all linked to work-based practice to demonstrate your evidence. This will take place in an online Virtual Learning Environment. On completion of the course and the assessment processes, you will receive a certificate from the awarding organisation and this can be used to demonstrate recognised prior learning, and support any further learning opportunities you may undertake within the subject area.
About this training session: Shared and Collective Measurement:
This course will cover the importance of shared measurement and how independent organisations can work together to develop evidence to demonstrate impact. The course will cover the types of data, how we can collect data collaboratively and how to tell your story of your impactful work, through powerful messaging. The course will also cover the complexities that arise from shared measurement, but also the benefits of collaborative working.
You can find more resources to help you with this area of work in area seven of our Resource Hub.
