WHAT CAN I DO AFTERWARDS?

WHAT DO I NEED?
This is an open access course available to anyone who trains others within any organisational setting. The knowledge and practical skills gained on the course will be assessed by a multiple choice quiz and an observation (by the course tutor) of the participant's delivered session, on which they will receive formal feedback. The idea of the assessment is not to set the participants up to fail, but rather to ensure that they have absorbed the knowlegde and developed the skills necessary to be an effective trainer.
