Certificate in Community Volunteering VRQ Level 1 & 2
Course Description
The CCV is a VRQ at level 1 and 2. It is intended for both young people (14+) and adult volunteers. It benefits volunteers by providing:

• Formal recognition for what they do in contributing to the community
• A structure for improving their skills and knowledge and reflecting on what they do.
• Opportunities to learn from and share experiences with other volunteers.
• A progression route to further education, training and employment.

Tutor Training
To offer the Volunteering Level 1 & 2 to young people in your project it is a mandatory requirement that all staff attend tutor training prior to commencement of the award. The training is run by Chartstage who are the Approved Assessment Centre and External Verifier for this qualification.

Education providers can help their student volunteers enhance their skills and CVs, pursue career goals and have a better understanding of community/citizenship issues. The CCV can be achieved in a wide variety of settings because general skills and knowledge are recognised in the qualification.

Course Requirements
For some volunteers a CCV qualification will provide a stepping-stone to further training, qualifications and employment. For others the certificate will be a sufficient goal and reward for their voluntary work.

• Volunteering with a local community organisation or social enterprise
• Working on a community project
