Prerequisites

People whose work calls on them, or will call on them, to prepare and deliver training. No formal qualifications are required but good communicators with an interest in learning and basic computer skills will get most from the programme.

Overview

Participants will:
• Attend a one day skills and knowledge development workshop
• Complete specified assignments and prepare a brief presentation during a one week interval
• Submit completed assignments for assessment
• Deliver their presentations to their fellow learners and tutor.

If required by the client, participants can be individually marked on their assignments and skills demonstration (the presentation), although this is not an externally certified programme.
