This qualification is suitable for anyone who actively connects with children such as parents, carers, teachers, youth group leaders and young adults.
Entry requirements
The qualification is available to learners aged 14 or over.
It may be possible to allocate a reasonable adjustment to a learner who has a disability, medical condition or learning need; learners should
contact their training provider to discuss.
Any reasonable adjustments granted must be in line with the FAA Reasonable Adjustments Policy.
However, due to this being a distance learning qualification and the level of unsupervised learning required, a learner must have the literacy
skills to be able to read and self-learn the reference manual and additional resources.
Qualification Duration
The qualification has 3 assigned guided learning hours (GLH) and 7 hours total qualification time (TQT). GLH indicates the number of contact

preparation and learning and is an estimate of how long the average learner may take to complete the qualification
