Improvement in Political Literacy & Democracy Education The course will enhance your students’ understanding of local and national politics. At the end of the course they will have gained a clear understanding of how to engage in civic society, as well as the tools necessary to become active in our democracy. Builds Employability Skills, Self-Esteem & Confidence The Course places a heavy emphasis on the teaching of ‘people skills’: the art of verbal communication. It promotes the ability to speak in public, debate, present a discussion coherently or represent certain groups as either an MP, Union leader and 3rd sector organisation (e.g. NGOs). This develops their critical thinking, communication skills, humanism and emotional resilience. Stronger Communities, Promoting Activism and Resilience The Course shows young people that politics is in everything we do in life; so it pays to be involved. This develops their critical thinking, communication skills and emotional resilience. In addition, it helps build stronger communities – with a new generation of politically-engaged young people taking an active interest in the issues surrounding both their workplace and local communities. AQA Unit Award Scheme Certificate We are registered with AQA for the delivery of the Unit Award Scheme (UAS). Upon successful completion of each unit in the course, students will receive a UAS certificate from AQA. THE BENEFIT FOR STUDENTS
