  • Gathered Session – (Unit 5b) – a 2 hour facilitated session to consolidate learning from Advanced Module (online) e-learning held on Zoom.
  • Handbook- to support learning during Advanced Module and for further study and resources.

The Online Gathered sessions are being held jointly with other districts. This gives a larger group of dates you can choose from.
Booking for each date close 30 days beforehand to allow time to post out the materials required for the e-learning and to enrol you on the module. N.B. the e-learning MUST be completed before attending a Gathered Session.
