Firstly, you need to register your interest and fill out a short registration form here
Attend an Introductory Session
Introductory sessions are happening on a recurring basis each week. They take place every Tuesday morning 10-11am, starting from 1st September. You only need to attend one introductory session.
Training Program Enrolment
After the introductory session, we will enrol you on either a Green or Gold training program, or a specialist training program. Green is for smaller businesses and Gold is for larger companies. The specialist training is specifically designed for local schools and libraries.

Training happens each month and you must complete 1x hour of module 1 and 1x hour of module 2. Gold programs happen on a Wednesday morning (10-11am) & Green programs happen on a Wednesday afternoon (2-3pm). For specialist training, we will be in touch.
Follow Up Session
Once you have completed the introductory session and module 1 & 2, you will then be required to take part in the follow-up session that will take place one month later. This session will be with a member of Hillingdon Council and is a chance to review the training & see how it has been implemented in your workplace.

After the follow-up session, you will be given the opportunity to sign up to the free consultancy work. Upon successful completion of the training, your organisation will be given action plans, resources and work books, and receive a certificate from the London Borough of Hillingdon.
