New Leaf Triangle Awards
New Leaf Triangle (cic) offers a range of alternative courses including the New Leaf Triangle Vocational Awards and the New Leaf Triangle Challenge Awards. Whilst these qualifications are not recognised as official qualifications, the transferable skills gained from completing them will teach students many life skills that will provide a steppingstone into potential future qualifications.
New Leaf Triangle Vocational Awards
The New Leaf Triangle Vocational Awards allow students to attain certificates for learning and completing a variety of different activities that are provided at New Leaf Triangle. These include animal care, horse care, life skills (road safety, group work and healthy living), farm animals and horticulture. The qualifications are broken down into different units which allows for a number of certificates to be awarded per qualification. This has been found to be motivational for those students who benefit from regular recognition of achievement and a visual representation of the things they are achieving whilst at New Leaf.
