‘PCYC Institute' is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) under the Australian Quality training framework and the NSW Vocational Educational and Training Accreditation Board. Included in the foundational scope of courses for the Institute are first aid units, a Certificate I in Volunteering and a Certificate II in Community Recreation. The Certificate I in Volunteering allows PCYC to recognise the work of volunteers by affording them the chance to obtain a formal certificate recognising their valuable contribution to PCYC. Certificate II in Community Recreation serves two purposes within PCYC's mission: it allows PCYC to give formal recognition for the achievements and learning of participants in our BlueStar Leadership Program, and it allows us to provide Police Officers with non-formal, club-based and vocationally oriented training for young offenders who may face barriers to future social integration because of a lack of work preparation. In the future, the Institute's initial courses will be consolidated and consideration given to additional courses to be linked to staff development needs and, potentially, professional development for Police Officers working in Clubs.
