However, it is still founded on a basic short-course training programme that can typically be delivered in three days, with an assessment based on delivery of a short training session at the conclusion of the programme. The qualification provides an opportunity to understand and practice a professional approach to training design and delivery, with a structured syllabus and assessment opportunity.

The programme will involve a significant amount of hands-on activity with additional work outside the sessions to develop the content and materials for assessment on the final day. The programme is quite demanding because it results in the acquisition of new skills and techniques over a short period.
