This training course is offered in two formats:
Comprehensive
We recommend that you do the comprehensive course in order to obtain the maximum benefit from the training. The comprehensive course comprises 9 Modules and will take about 10 hours to complete.
Abridged Version
This version is a highly condensed version of the Comprehensive Version and will take about an hour and a half to complete. We recommend that you only do this version if your time is extremely limited; and that you also complete the comprehensive version at a later time.
The format of this training is Self - Study where you will work through the course material on your own. Each Module is structured as described below. On completion of the course a Q and A webinar session will be offered where you can raise issues that are not yet clear to you, and where we can focus discussion on issues that we feel you are not yet clear on based on the evaluation you submit at the end of each module.
Please note that you will have 30 days to complete the course from the date that we provide you with the login details. Thereafter the password will change and you will no longer have access to the course. Let's look at how the modules are structured.
We begin each module by recapping on key points from the previous module.
Key Learning Outcomes for the module are highlighted.
We prime you for the evaluation questions at the end of the module.
