BMKALC offers in person training for CiLCA candidates. We commence with an introductory session in April where we introduce prospective candidates to the CiLCA process, we look at the CiLCA portfolio and consider the additional workload on candidates in order to compile a successful portfolio of work. Candidates may then register for the CiLCA training whereafter we meet once a month as we work through the different units.

We have now arranged for the Train the Trainer course to be delivered online.  The course is not only for new trainers but trainers who want to have a refresher and explore new ways of delivering training.  This is a certified course with Imaginarium and a certificate will be provided on successful completion.  This course is a new requirement by SLCC for anyone delivering CiLCA training that do not have an Educational background/qualification

The aims of the course:

• Give delegates the ability to design and deliver courses
• Understand the importance of different learning styles
• Understand their own learning style
• Develop an interactive approach – this is even more important during online training
• Make training interesting and fun
• Build confidence
