This course will run for 8 weeks and will give you an accredited qualification in Leadership Skills at Level 2.

To qualify for this free course applicants need to be without experience of Higher Education and be from an under-represented or disadvantaged group.

The course will build on your strengths, give you confidence and inspire you. A former participant of the course said:

“A friend recommended Community Action and Leadership course with the OCVA. I really felt that I wanted to become more pro-active in my community but didn’t really know where to start. After completing this very interesting and stimulating course, feeling fully motivated and equipped with the right information, I immediately went on to organise a Christmas Day event for the elderly and vulnerable in our community which was very successful and now to become an annual event. On top of this fabulous achievement channel 4’s “4thought” covered the event on Christmas Day itself. Enriched by the experience and gaining confidence steadily, I then went on to find work after being at home with my children for several years and I’m now involved in delivering this Community Action and Leadership course myself”!
