Training for trainers

We offer an intensive 5 session training programme to people who want to further their own parenting skills and/or are interested in adding our skills to their existing professional repertoire. You may already be involved in work with families for which this training would provide a valuable contribution. No previous experience of our work is required to take this training although if you have already taken one of our courses this will offer you the opportunity to deepen your understanding and skills. This is a certified course satisfactory completion of which will be by attendance, short written assignments and an optional practical presentation.

Trainees will deepen and broaden their understanding of the skills and strategies taught on our Positive Parenting Core Skills Course and will also be trained in facilitation skills. This involves learning about:

• Group dynamics
• Presentation skills
• Managing participants’ expectations
• Managing time
• Facilitating each participant’s learning – being aware of different learning styles and responding to them accordingly.

The next training course consists of  5 sessions over three weeks. It starts on Thursday 23rd Sept, then Monday 27th Sept, Thurs 30th Sept, Monday 4th & Thursday 7th Oct 2010. 
The day will run from 10am to 3pm.  The cost of the course will be £500 plus VAT.

Please get in touch if you are interested in this training or if you know of someone who may be interested. Places are limited. Enquiries should be by email to melissa@theparentpractice.com or call 020 8673 3444.
