Overview of online TRAINING MODULES

While you will find everything you need to run a successful program in both What's the Buzz? books, the TRAINING MODULES have been built to provide a deeper insight. They contain a wealth of ideas to place you in the best position to deliver the programme with success, sensitivities, and respect. The 'Online Accreditation' eases you more comprehensively into the intentions and spirit of the programme, but can never replace a one-day face to face, or online training via the ZOOM platform.

As you can see below, there are 4 online TRAINING MODULES. These take about 2 hours to complete and then provide an automatic, personalised, online accreditation. You will be able to print a 'Training and Accreditation certificate' as evidence of this Professional Development.
