Modules 1 and 6 are taught residentially, whilst Modules 2, 3, 4 and 5 are taught over Zoom.

Participants can start the training with either module 1 or 2. Modules 3, 4 and 5 can be taken in any order as they are stand-alone modules. Participants should finish with Module 6, as it is the final module and builds on the content of the first five modules.
