Now this is a game changer! Find out about a new SCQF level 6 qualification, Esports : For the players

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.provider_name
Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Esports: For The Players was developed in collaboration with The Brave Jnr, a youth organisation on a mission to empower young people to build brighter futures through esports.

It was credit rated by Edinburgh College at SCQF level 6 with 24 credit points - the same level & number of credit points as a Higher.

Before this award was created and credit rated there was no option in Scotland for young people (or anyone else) to gain accreditation around esports and, while there are opportunities in the rest of the UK to study esports related subjects, none of these focus on learning from the perspective of a player.

The course is delivered in a community learning/youth work setting as well as being available for secondary schools to offer to pupils as part of their senior options.

It is aimed at young people aged 14 - 18 who may be disengaged from traditional education and want to gain 21st century skills while improving their performance in their favourite esports game.

Esports is competitive video gaming and is hugely popular among young people; being able to gain recognition and accreditation for doing something they are passionate about makes this course very attractive. Many young people now dream of careers as professional gamers and content creators, this course can offer insight into how to pursue those careers and equip learners with the tools and experience to start building that career.

The credit rating of Esports: For The Players offers the opportunity for young people to continue to positive destinations where they may not have managed to gain qualifications at school.

While learners on this course will be focusing on esports, learning about the gaming industry and improving their gameplay, they will also be developing vital meta skills, wellbeing techniques, data skills and digital capabilities. Their learning will prove to be transferable to almost any other subject or career path that they may decide to pursue.

Some quotes from learners:
"I had a difficult time at school and left without any qualifications. I love gaming and was excited to be given the chance to do this course and learn about esports. I am enjoying the course, it doesn't even feel like learning did at school, it is giving me confidence and now I would really like to work in esports." - Jay

"I am loving learning about the esports industry and how it all works. I play in a Rocket League team and eSports: For The Players is making me think differently about how to improve my in game performance and is making me more focused and take it more seriously. By the time I have finished the course I think I will have improved a lot." - Jamie

"It's great to be able to get a qualification for doing something I really love - gaming! I have always had a dream to be a pro gamer but no-one ever took it seriously and now I am studying eSports: For The Players my parents and teachers are becoming more supportive. I have learned that there are many other jobs that I could do in esports if I change my mind about being a player." - Levi

Youth Scotland YAA

Youth Scotland Youth Achievement Awards are flexible awards that provides a framework to accredit learning and achievement within your own existing or planned activities. The YAA has been credit rated and levelled by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF).

Youth Achievement Award is a nationally recognised Scottish Qualification Authority

customised award for young people, which uses a youth work approach, and

which provides a means of recording and evidencing their wider learning and achievement through a formal qualification.

The award is aimed at young people in the Senior Phase of a Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) (S3 and above).

A Youth Achievement Award is an individual learning award which reflects the values and principles of youth work.

t is characterised by approaches that start from the interests, hopes and aspirations of the young person.

The a ward builds from 'where a young person is at '. It is person-centred and the focus is on creating an award that is personal, meaningful and appropriate for the individual, making it inclusive and accessible for all.

The young person and worker are partners in a learning process. The process is empowering and allows a young person to play a full part in shaping their own learning.

The young person is responsible for planning their own Award. They must choose their Challenge and set themselves personal and meaningful Targets to work towards.

The young person completes their Challenge, working towards their personal targets, and evidences this in a 'personal Portfolio of Evidence'.

The young person reviews and reflects upon their learning and achievements.

A Youth Achievement Award should capture how a young person has engaged with and benefited from the plan-do review approach to their learning rather than just record the activities they have been involved in.

For a Young Person to gain an award, a completed awards Booklet with a portfolio of evidence of how they have met the criteria of the award is required.

There are four levels of the Youth Achievement Award; Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Young people enter at the level appropriate to their interests and abilities; they are not required to work through the lower levels to access the higher levels.

Express Yourself: Finding your voice in creative writing and drama  - Border College and maybe an option for your school? 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Seven young people have completed a creative writing and drama course which marked the highest ever level of qualification delivered at Bridges Project.

Named Express Yourself, the course was delivered over eight weeks in collaboration with Borders College. It was offered through Bridges Project's Spark Your Future service, which is funded by East Lothian Council's No One Left Behind Employability Grants Programme as part of the UK Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

During the eight weeks, young people gained an insight into a wide range of elements within the fields of creative writing and drama. This included hands-on experience on script analysis, character development, storyboarding, acting, directing and writing.

To complete the course, all of the participants had to produce their own piece of writing. For many of the young people, this was a useful opportunity to complement their school work.

17-year-old Kerra Stewart, who attends Musselburgh Grammar School, wrote a short story which she used for her Higher English portfolio.

"I enjoyed the course and writing my short story and it helped me a lot for my portfolio at school. I also learned different techniques that can help me in a job in the future," she said.

For her twin sister Dayle, the creative writing and drama course was even more directly linked to her preferred career path.

"I want to become an English teacher so the course has helped me," said Dayle, who wrote an extract of an apocalyptic story for the course.

She also believes Express Yourself was highly beneficial for both her personal development and her skills development.

"It developed my writing and presenting skills and also built my confidence. I got to communicate with new people and it helped me feel more comfortable to speak to people in a room and present," said the 17-year-old.

Bridges Project's Neil Maclean, who co-organised the course, also highlights the young people's personal development as one of the main successes of Express Yourself.

"They saw a massive boost to their confidence. At the beginning of the course, they did not want to read up any of their own writing but at the end, they were happy to share what they had written with their peers. That personal development growth that they experienced during the lifetime of the course was amazing to witness," he said.

In addition to the boost to their confidence and skills, young people also gained 1.5 SCQF Level 5 units accredited from Borders College for completing the course. This marks a historic moment as the highest level of qualification that has ever been delivered at Bridges Project.

"The course was at a very high level and very involved. It incorporated a lot of theory and principles from different discipline of creative writing, which meant that young people had to self-study quite a bit," said Neil.

He was impressed by how the participants took to the challenge.

"They just took to it and were intent on achieving their qualification, which was incredible to see," said the co-organiser.

Neil also praised Borders College for making Express Yourself possible.

"The College went out of their way to help us establish the course, make it accredited and start it in a timely manner. I would like to say a massive thank you to them," he said.

Liz King, Skills Accreditation Programme Advisor at Borders College, said it was a 'pleasure to be involved in such an exciting project and to see the achievements of the young people.'

She said:

"We enjoyed working collaboratively with Neil and the Bridges Project team to develop the unit and provide accreditation and certification through Borders College."

Ms King added:

"I was impressed with the quality of the young people's portfolios. The work produced was excellent and reflected the development of their knowledge, skills and confidence through working on the unit. It was evident that a huge amount of time and dedication from Neil and Mihalis [Michailidis, Express Yourself Co-coordinator] had gone into delivery, assessment and verification, and also from the learners themselves, to complete it successfully."
