Sports Academy of Scotland receives approval to deliver Youth Work qualification

The CLD approvals panel is delighted to announce that the Sports Academy of Scotland has achieved developmental approval to deliver the SCQF Level 7 SVQ Level 3 in Youth Work, which forms a critical part of the Modern Apprenticeship in Youth Work offered by the organisation. The approval period runs from January 2025 to January 2030.

This is an exciting and much needed pathway for learners and young people across Scotland. The approval panel were impressed with Sports Academy of Scotland’s use of the OneFile digital system which in its demonstration was innovative and supportive to both learners and employers.

The panel noted that that the Sports Academy of Scotland team had ensured that access to the SVQ in Youth Work is as accessible as possible by offering a range of methods and modes for learners to gather and submit their evidence. The panel further commended the passion for coaching, mentoring and community learning and development that was expressed through the Developmental Approval Process and thanked Sports Academy of Scotland for the frank, open and honest conversation during the approval process.
