Training for IACs
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation provides a comprehensive training programme for Award teams from licensed Independent Award Centres (IACs), and for External Activity Providers who work with IACs. The training is a blended learning programme with online and instructor-led components. For training under National Award Operators (NAOs), please speak to the NAO in your country.
Foundation training for IACs is delivered in two phases: Level One (online) and Level Two (virtual instructor-led). The core Level One and Level Two programme equips successful delegates with the knowledge and skill to act as an Award Leader, Adventurous Journey Supervisor or Adventurous Journey Assessor.
Level One introduces delegates to the components of the Award, and gives information about the knowledge, skills, behaviours and tools which are useful for delivering the Award. You will receive an e-certificate of completion on the Award Community when you finish each module.
Level Two delivers more advanced learning to build on the knowledge gained during Level One. It also provides in-depth guidance on the requirements of the Adventurous Journey section and the requirements of the Gold Award level. You will receive an e-certificate of completion on the Award Community following completion of and payment for the Level Two: Delivering the Award workshop.
Please contact us via [email protected] if you have any queries.
The Foundation offers a programme of virtual instructor-led training workshops for Independent Award Centres and External Activity Providers.
