It will provide participants with a range of knowledge and skills both to grow in their personal faith journey and to share their faith with others in both formal and informal youth ministry settings. They will broaden their knowledge and its application in catechesis; in prayer and worship; in spiritual development; in pastoral care of self and others; youth ministry legalities, programs, and resources; and communication skills, preparing them to participate in youth ministry and leadership within the Catholic Church.

Up to two elective units may be substituted from another accredited course or training package.  The imported electives must be relevant to the work outcome, local industry requirements and the qualification level. Any elective chosen must contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome.
