                        QQI Accredited Training

                        Youth Theatre Ireland has been providing training in youth drama facilitation practice since 1999. In 2007, our ArtsTrain programme received accreditation for 2 FETAC modules in 2006.

                        In 2013, our accreditation moved to Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). QQI is the state agency responsible for promoting the quality, integrity, and reputation of Ireland’s further and higher education system. Through this training course, Youth Theatre Ireland offers learners the opportunity to achieve all or part of the NFQ Level 6 Certificate in Drama

                        Full programme information is available here.

                        Current accredited training provision

                        Due to budgetary constraints Youth Theatre Ireland have not been in a position to offer the full award listed above. In 2019, in partnership with Creative Ireland, it was proposed that Youth Theatre Ireland would offer training in 2 component level 6 modules.

                        This training aims to meet some of the need left by the loss of the full time Artstrain programme and support the training and development of emerging practitioners in line with our strategic goals.

                        The component modules are:

                        o Engaging with Drama

                        o Leadership

                        Key topics covered across the training options include:

                        Explore facilitation practice which promotes the active participation of young people and values their voice in the planning and delivery of activities

                        Support youth theatre facilitators to recognise and respond to young people’s needs, interests, and potential

                        Support youth theatre facilitators to plan workshops and activities which support young people’s development

                        Assist youth theatre facilitators to plan an annual programme of activities which support young people’s progression

                        Promote a facilitation practice that is inclusive in ethos and supports the participation of all young people
