Our Train the Trainer course is tailored for the needs of larger organisations.
We’ll work with you to understand what you do as we train and accredit a member of your staff as a Playlist for Life accredited trainer. Having one fully accredited member of your team provides them with the skills and knowledge to deliver training in-house to all staff within your organisation. This is a cost-effective and efficient way of keeping your Playlist for Life project going as new staff join your organisation.
Then we’ll give you ongoing support and a license to use – and adapt – our popular range of printed and online resources to train staff throughout your organisation.
Help your staff give the best care they can with a proven person-centred intervention.
