The success of a training event is in part down to the delivery of the training on the day. However, the preparation of events can also play a large part in the ultimate success of the day. The following points are intended to ensure that a training event takes place smoothly and satisfactorily.
Format: All courses are now run ONLINE only, typically on Zoom. Most courses are one day but there are some half-day and two day courses.Run-in time: If I've got space I'll get you booked
in as soon as possible. But it's often booked up several months in
advance. So if you want to secure dates get in touch as early as
possible.
In-house training: Courses are usually offered on an in-house basis either for a specific team or a wider organisation. DATs, co-ordinating bodies or other organisations often organise a multi-delegate event, where a training need has been identified locally that is relevant to many agencies. Such events are an efficient way of delivering training to several agencies.
Numbers: We
can run courses for a small number - 4-6 people and maximum group size
is twenty. If you have more than 20 people needing a course we need to
run it more than once.
Skills levels: All courses build on and enhance current drug knowledge. However, some course and modules assume a level of familiarity with drugs, and may not be suitable for those with little or no drug knowledge. In fairness to all delegates, especially on multi-delegate courses, participants should ensure that they have the requisite drugs knowledge before attending such courses or modules. We will discuss such issues with you at the time of booking.
Staff cover: Staff need to be in a position to gain the most from a training day. Sometimes, staff have just delivered a night's work before attending a course. They are exhausted, and cannot participate fully. Wherever possible, please try to ensure that staff attending course have not worked the night before a course, although we recognise that this is sometimes unavoidable.
Run times: Typical run-times are illustrated below. Please ensure that participants are advised of run times, and stress that participants are expected to arrive promptly.
Punctuality: If delegates try to log in late without prior agreement the course may be locked
Attendance: Participation is expected for the entire course unless previously agreed.
Online: Ensure participants have IT equipment with working sound and camera. It is better if they are not in a busy office where they may be distracted.
Delegate list: Please ensure that an up-to date delegate list is available on the day of the course
Accessibility: Please ensure that the trainer has been made aware of any special needs that participants may have which could affect their participation in the course.
Delegate packs:
Slides are stored on a Google-drive and participants will be sent a
link to download these slides which can be stored for future reference.
Evaluation: All courses can be evaluated. Purchasing organisations can use their own evaluation forms, or one can be provided. For larger pieces of training, an evaluative report on the training will be prepared for the purchasing organisation, if required. Certificates of attendance can also be prepared, if required
Cancellation: the contract specifies terms and conditions in terms of cancelled courses. If you need to postpone or cancel an event please do so in good time to avoid penalty fees.
Invoicing: Monthly, following event(s); payment due within
28 days
Payment by BACS preferred
