This is a part-time foundation course tailored for individuals aspiring to build a dual career as a certified yoga teacher and complementary therapist. Delivered under the Back to Education Initiative (BTEI), this flexible schedule is specifically structured to allow learners to balance their professional qualifications with existing personal or work commitments.

The curriculum focuses on merging physical yoga practice with a broad suite of holistic and therapeutic modalities. Students dive deep into the technical execution of yoga postures while gaining a scientifically rigorous understanding of the human body through anatomy and physiology. By combining mindfulness, wellness principles, and complementary therapies, the course instills the practical skills and commercial confidence required to enter the rapidly growing health and wellbeing industry.

This programme has been designed to provide students with the essential practical and theoretical skills of youth work practice, the role of the youth worker and an insight into challenges facing our communities.

The aim of this programme is to prepare students to engage successfully in Youth Work and Community Development practice in an increasingly complex world. The programme will equip students with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to assess and address a wide variety of challenges, using the best available evidence to guide practice and support communities meaningfully.

Are you considering a career as a Youth worker? Youth workers find employment in schools, health centres, social service centres, and community or religious organisations. Youth workers support the personal development of young people and help them learn to be responsible young people.

This programme is designed to facilitate the learner to explore Youth Work with a view to re-skilling/up-skilling and exploring concepts and subject areas that may interest the learner in future programmes or employment. It will afford the learner opportunities to enhance their confidence and ability to develop the skills to reach their full potential as well as to further develop their interpersonal, team working, problem solving and time management skills, as appropriate, so that the learner is enabled to take responsibility for his/her own learning and to support progression including future participation in education and employment.
