Hi Marcus, this qualification is for those interested to support others (on an informal basis) who experience difficulties associated with offending that limits their and their family’s lives. MYBE Awards is exclusively licensed to deliver this award which is accredited by OCN London who is regulated by Ofqual, the qualifications regulator for England. It is also a progression route to a level 3 award in intervention and guidance, this higher level award requires a lot of practice learning so you would need to be in a criminal justice related role.
