The Qualification
BE There has been developed as a learner-friendly programme delivering not only the training required to enable event support workers to do their jobs well but also national accreditation so that those who take part in it can achieve a nationally-recognised qualification, the BTEC Award in Event Support.
To make sure that our event support workers can BE inspired, BE There is 21st Century learning - no exercise books and no workbooks; no need to sit behind a desk or at a computer. Everything required to make sure learners are good enough to BE at your event is contained in an easy-to-read magazine just like any of those you'd see in a supermarket or newsagent. It's full of interesting articles written by well-recognised experts in their fields in subjects such as:
- Crowd dynamics
- Event organisation and control
- Communicating
- Health & Safety
- Hospitality & Customer Service
The BTEC Award in Event Support consists of three core units:
The programme is delivered entirely as distance learning, although some organisations will choose to deliver an optional seminar programme around it as part of their ongoing volunteer support programme and marketing activities.
Training materials can be purchased directly from Great2Run or the delivery of the qualification as an entire package on your behalf can be arranged. This will include the establishment of a partner college and the provision of quality assurance, financial and educational tracking services, and results reporting.
The Awarding body is Edexcel, a Pearson company, and the UK's largest awarding body, offering academic and vocational qualifications and testing to more than 25,000 schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning in the UK and in over 100 countries worldwide.
