An interactive training which offers the opportunity to the participants to discuss and practice the way to handle a range of training challenges. All the participants will give a training session of 15’ on day 2 to practice their skills. Before the training, we send a pre-course questionnaire to all participants. The responses are confidential, and will be used to make sure that the course meets the needs of all the participants. We are also happy to look through delegates’ training material, in order to discuss it with them on the day of the course.
