FAQ’S

How long does the training take, and will all modules run in one academic year?

All three modules run within a 90-day period. Each module consists of 5 days of training, meaning an individual will undertake a total of 15 days of training if they choose to complete the full programme.

What is the delivery format for the 5 days?

Each module uses a hybrid delivery structure:

  • Days 1 & 2 (In-Person): Intensive, face-to-face collaborative workshops.

  • Day 3 (Remote): Interactive online learning and application session.

  • Days 4 & 5 (In-Person): Final face-to-face sessions.

Can I take the modules individually?

Yes. You can enroll in and receive funding for just a single module, and then decide later if or when you would like to complete the remaining two modules.

Is the programme accredited?

This is a suite of three funded, unaccredited short courses. While learners will not gain formal accreditation for completing the programme, the learning units are equivalent in standard to a Level 5 apprenticeship unit.

How many places are available per cohort?

We aim for a cohort size of 25 participants, with a strict upper limit of 35 places available. We highly encourage booking early to secure your spot.

What are the training dates for the upcoming cohorts?
