QQI GRADUATION 2022

As SMH continue to move toward the delivery of services based on service users’ rights, the implementation of QQI accredited training establishes a clear progression route to community education opportunities and active citizenship.

SMH are committed to delivering quality educational opportunities to people who use the services and continually support individuals to achieve accredited awards on the National Framework of Qualifications. The validated modules such as, personal decision making, money management, personal safety, support the development of core and independence skills for learners. Learners may choose to complete the Major Award at Level 2 (6 Modules) or individual modules to gain a Minor Award. We began the delivery of awards at Level 3 in Advocacy, Work Experience and Community Participation.

SMH were delighted to host two graduation ceremonies for adults who attend services in Service Area 1 and Service Area 2. The graduation ceremonies awarded over 100 learners with QQI Level 2 Awards with 18 learners receiving a Major Award at Level 2 in General Learning. QQI Level 2 Major Awards are a very significant achievement for learners with each person completing six modules, including two compulsory modules, in order to receive this award.

Many Minor Awards were presented for a wide range of modules including; Personal Safety, Personal Decision Making, Personal Care, Money Management, Food Choice and Health, Health Related Exercise, Using Technology, Gardening, Relaxation, Listening and Speaking, and Nonverbal Communication.

Delighted families, friends and staff attended both graduation ceremonies to celebrate and congratulate the graduates on their wonderful achievements. Well done everybody!
