The programme

Core training and
a safeguarding course

Four core modules and a dedicated safeguarding course, delivered virtually with live Zoom sessions. Everything a tutor needs to teach well, in one clear path.

Four content blocks, in order

Each module builds on the one before it, so you finish with a complete method rather than scattered advice.
