We offer the Managing Volunteers Award, accredited by

basis and uses real life examples and evidence from your workplace,
rather than writing essays. We can also offer you the option to gain a
nationally recognised qualification, the Advanced Award in Volunteer
Management, which requires some additional coursework.
There are no exams for any courses - but
lots of help and support!
