Summary
The Certificate in Youth Development and Leadership (CertYDL) equips and empowers Christian youth leaders and youth workers to serve confidently in churches, schools, and communities. This programme provides a strong foundation for safe, effective work with young people from diverse backgrounds.
The CertYDL is a three-term part-time programme. The programme is made up of a total of 40 credits. There is a three-day block course at the beginning of the first course and the rest is done via distance learning. The delivery of the courses is through Laidlaw College’s partner, 24-7 YouthWork.
Students spend 25 hours per term in a youth work or youth ministry placement, while also combining theory, practical skills, and reflective learning. It includes a tuakana-teina mentoring component to foster meaningful connections and growth. This programme is delivered by 24-7 YouthWork, in partnership with Laidlaw College.
