Training Drop In Sessions

Adult training modules will be held around the county during 2008, see the table below.

You can attend modules outside your Zone and you don’t need to do the modules in order. If you only need to attend one of the modules being held, or you only have time to attend one, you can do so.You can download application forms here:

After you have attended a module you will need to be validated for your learning and knowledge. Who can validate you? Any suitably qualified Leader can assist in the validation process this may, for example, be by confirming observation of specific activity, confirming you have completed a task such as running a game. It is however your appointed Training Advisor who confirms that the evidence provided is sufficient and to the required standards.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
