FAQs
Does attendance allow me to teach the course?
Not automatically no. Trainers need to hold a suitable teaching/assessing qualification, an appropriate mental health qualification and suitable CPD.

If I miss a session can I catch up?
No. It is important that there is 100% live attendance

Will this run again?
We have no plans at the moment but it will depend on demand

Do I have to attend before I can teach this qualification?
No, we are just aware that many trainers want to see the programme delivered before they teach it themselves. This also allows for shared ideas on activities used to engage with learners.
