What are the objectives for the Level 3 Certificate in Probation Practice Qualification?
These qualifications have been developed with the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs).
The main objective of the qualification is to provide the underpinning knowledge and skills required by those working in the probation sector. It provides career development to staff who have some contact with service users but whose role does not cover all the competences of the Level 3 Diploma in Probation Practice. It is envisaged that this qualification will be suitable for a range of roles across the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies, for example Probation Case Administration, Community Payback or Approved Premises night wardens.
Learners must complete all three units in the Mandatory Group:
- Professional ethics, values and practices
- Safeguard individuals
- Working with own and other organisations
The Level 3 Certificate in Probation Practice offers a progression route to the SFJ Awards Level 3 Diploma in Probation Practice and the role of Probation Services Officer.
What are the pre-entry requirements for the Level 3 Certificate in Probation Practice?
