Assessment

How you're assessed

This is a knowledge qualification assessed by a portfolio of evidence. You complete written assignments and workbook questions for each unit, your Lift tutor marks them against the TQUK assessment criteria, and TQUK externally quality assures the results. The result is pass or fail, and there are no exams.

01Study the unit

Work through the unit online on your phone, tablet or laptop, with your named UK tutor and AI Study Support on hand when something is not clear.

02Write your answers

Complete the written assignment and workbook questions for the unit in your own words, drawing on examples from work or home where it helps.

03Feedback and resubmit

Your tutor marks your work in 5 to 7 working days and gives written feedback. If a criterion is not yet met, you add to your answer and resubmit at no extra cost.

04Your TQUK certificate

When every unit is passed, Lift College claims your certificate from TQUK. Registration and certification are included in the price.

All four units are knowledge units, so you do not need a job, a placement or anyone to observe you. The certificate shows your understanding of bullying in children and young people; it is not a safeguarding qualification and does not on its own qualify you for a particular role. Each employer decides what a post needs and follows its own safeguarding procedures.

Who it's for

This course is for you if

  • You work in a school, nursery or college as a teaching assistant, lunchtime supervisor, pastoral or support worker
  • You work with children or young people in youth work, sport, clubs, residential care or foster care
  • You are a parent or carer who wants to recognise bullying and know how to respond
  • You want a regulated TQUK certificate that shows you understand bullying and cyberbullying, not a short CPD module
  • You need to study from home around work, with no exams, no placement and no fixed timetable

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the Awareness of Bullying Level 2 certificate regulated?

Yes. The TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Bullying in Children and Young People (RQF) is on the Ofqual register at Level 2, qualification number 603/4214/6. It is 14 credits, 102 guided learning hours and 140 hours total qualification time. TQUK issues the certificate, and Lift College is a TQUK recognised centre.

How long does it take?

Many learners finish in 3 to 6 months. The qualification is 102 guided learning hours and 140 hours in total once your own reading and writing time is included. There is no timetable and no fixed exam date, so you move on to the next unit as soon as your work is marked.

How is it assessed?

By a portfolio of evidence. For each unit you complete written assignments and workbook questions, your Lift tutor marks them against the TQUK assessment criteria, and TQUK externally quality assures the results. Every learning outcome must be met, and the result is pass or fail.

Are there any exams?

No. There are no exams and no timed tests. Every unit is assessed through the written work in your portfolio, and if a piece needs more work your tutor tells you what to add and you resubmit.

What are the entry requirements?

You need to be 16 or over. The course and all of the assessments are in English, so you need to be able to read and write in English.

What does it cost?

One price covers the whole qualification: every unit, your named UK tutor, marking and written feedback, AI Study Support, your TQUK registration and your TQUK certificate. You can pay monthly or in full, and the current prices are shown on this page. You can start with a 7-day free trial, and the 14-day money back guarantee applies either way. Paying today, it is £29.99 a month or £269.99 in full. After the 7-day free trial, it is £39.99 a month or £399.99 in full.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. Employers can open an organisation account with Lift College, enrol one or more members of staff and pay by invoice, and organisation accounts get 10% off. If you would rather keep it separate from work, you can pay for yourself and study in your own time. An organisation place is £359.99, 10% off the £399.99 price, paid by invoice.

What can I do after this qualification?

You can use the certificate in the role you have now, or as evidence of your understanding when you apply for school, youth or care roles. TQUK names the Level 2 Award in Safeguarding and Protecting Children and Young People, the Level 2 Award and Certificate in Equality and Diversity, the Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and the Level 1 Award in Mentoring as progression routes.

Does the course cover cyberbullying?

Yes. The unit Principles of bullying has a learning outcome on what is meant by cyberbullying, alongside bullying in different contexts, its short and long term effects, and discrimination.

Is this anti-bullying training for school staff?

It is a regulated qualification that gives school staff a thorough understanding of bullying: the signs, the reasons children bully, how to support the child and approach the bully, and the guidance and policies schools work to. Many teaching assistants and pastoral staff take it. It sits alongside your school's own training and policies rather than replacing them.

Is this a safeguarding qualification?

No. Bullying can be a safeguarding concern, and the course explains how bullying links to your setting's policies, but it is not a safeguarding qualification. If you work with children, the TQUK Level 2 Award in Safeguarding and Protecting Children and Young People is the partner course.

Can parents take this course?

Yes. Parents and carers take it to recognise the signs of bullying and cyberbullying and to know how to respond and work with a school. You do not need to work with children, and you can draw on family life in your answers as long as you keep details private.

What law and guidance does the course cover?

The unit Understand government guidelines for bullying covers the Equality Act 2010, government and Ofsted guidance on tackling bullying, and the policies and procedures settings use. Your tutor points you to the current guidance as you work through it.
