About this course
This is an online course about facilitation skills for practitioners delivering Solihull Approach courses as Solihull Approach Trainers.
This short course is about delivering face to face training, but many principles apply to training via video as well. This course includes a Module about adapting Solihull Approach training to Zoom. You can use the same principles if you use a different system, such as Teams.
The course can take around 2 hours to complete, which you may wish to record for CPD purposes.
You can print out a certificate at the end of the course.
