The

Relationships. |

For further details about Units D, E, F, G, H and I, please contact

Mentors can either use the curriculum on an informal basis as a
framework for working with young people, or they can use the curriculum to gain
accreditation for the young people they work with (however, staff must have completed the
Getting Connected mentor training programme to go for accreditation). Getting Connected
is accredited by OCN and young people can gain accreditation for their work on a unit by
unit basis. The units can be completed in any order, and there is no minimum number of
units which can be accredited (however, in order to gain the overall Getting
Connected: Profile of Personal Development candidates must submit any
four units
for accreditation).
