Aptitude Training Academy & Youth Work Reviews 

Just finished Level 3 Certificate in Youth Work Practice. Really good course. Very good at making you think more about what you need to be doing as a youth worker. Looking forward to putting the learnt material into practice.

This company delivers programmes and training that are well planned and executed both face to face and online. I totally recommend 👌

I have just finished Level 2 in Youth Work Principles and really enjoyed it. Due to Covid and my location I attended all of the online sessions. I always felt really supported and the tutors would always be there if I had a question/query. The course itself was really informative and certainly made me look at certain elements of my practice as well as learning new things. I look forward to starting the Level 3.

I absolutely loved the mentoring course led by Laura. Although it was ran online, Laura effortlessly kept everyone engaged & inspired. The course content had just the right balance; allowing time for discussion, questions & sharing of personal experiences & Laura always gave positive & valued responses. I learned so much from this course & left feeling confident to step into my role as a mentor. Thank you x

Really good course. Good pace and informative.

Aptitude are delivering Level 2 Award and Level 3 Certificate for Warwickshire voluntary and community sector. Their positivity and enthusiasm from the start has been excellent. The team and Tara have been flexible to our needs, have supported the learners and kept me informed at every stage. They have been flexible in terms of the needs of the learners and I cannot fault the service that they have given us. I would recommend their services every time.

I have attended the youth work course with aptitude and it exceeded my expectations. The team have managed to make adaptations (virtual learning)and have been extremely flexible throughout the pandemic to allow us to continue with this course. I would highly recommend Aptitude and look forward to other courses that may become available in the future.

Amazing Course!
100% recommended.
The course was easy to follow. I had constant support throughout and really enjoyed it too!

Excellent course, with enthusiastic and helpful tutors who explain things really well and get the best out of the course for everyone. Studying in COVID was difficult but they made the course easily accessible and enjoyable, and I couldn’t recommend it higher to anyone looking to further themselves and their knowledge of youth work!

Laura delivered training based on detached and outreach youth work. The training was very informative, interactive and delivered to an excellent standard, keeping it real and addressing all queries our team had. Aptitude has great knowledge of youth work and mental health first aid, and more importantly they are passionate about the services they provide to ensure quality youth work delivery.

Tara Foster and Laura Evans wealth of experience in youthwork and the diverse needs and behaviours of young people made this learning experience so enjoyable. The discussions and practical exercises were excellent..
Thankyou very much for your professionalism and support. .

I'm currently doing the Level 3 youth work course and I'm loving it. Laura and Tara who are running the training are really friendly, professional, approachable and have so much knowledge of the industry. I'm new to the youth work sector and have learnt so much from both of them. I would highly recommend doing the course.

Tara and Laura delivered a brilliant course! Which was very informal and precise.

Keep up the great work.

A thought provoking course which explores the practical and theoretical aspects of youth work. Manageable workload which is split into engaging modules with which Tara and Laura offer an abundance of knowledge. They facilitate in a friendly, inclusive, fun way and create a relaxed but hard working atmosphere.

Great training provider and great course. Tara and Laura make the learning fun and engaging and always go above and beyond. Highly recommend them as educators and the course itself is a must for those looking for a career in youth work.

Interesting and useful course with lots of topics, regarding to the theorical and the practical side of the youth work. Dynamic atmosphere, straight to the point covered problems and amazing team of people I had the chance to meet there.
