The Foundation Module must be completed before attending the Advanced Module for the first time.

The course is split into three part:

• Self-Study/e-learning – E-learning (units 1-5a) – approximately 4 to 7 hours which can be completed in smaller sections. Alongside the e-learning, participants complete a Workbook which they then take to the Gathered session.
• 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.
The Zoom link to join the gathered session is emailed out about 2 days beforehand.
