Youth Access provides a unique programme of courses for practitioners who work with young people. Our training is aimed at promoting good practice in providing high quality information, advice, counselling and support services to young people.

Our courses are designed to facilitate the development of practitioners’ skills, knowledge and ability to respond to the developmental needs of young people and are open to anyone working with young people, e.g. youth workers, counsellors, personal advisors, advice and information workers, support workers and drop in staff.

What is special about Youth Access training?

Highly experienced, specialised trainers
Our trainers have many years of experience both as tutors as well as professional front line counsellors and advisors. All of our courses provide learning opportunities through the use of a variety of training methods, ideas and frameworks.

Low cost, high quality training
As a membership organisation, Youth Access appreciates only too well the resource constraints in the sector. We aim to make our courses as accessible as possible by providing them regionally and at an affordable cost. Plus, Youth Access members receive huge savings: up to 50% discount on course fees!
