Foundation Group Training for Professionals – Live Online Course

Aim:
By the end of this training you will be able to apply your understanding of how to cue to any word you wish.

Course:
Six one-hour lessons delivered as live classes using the on-line video messaging platform zoom.

Please enquire in the first instance to discuss times/dates as group clases are dependent on demand. Our tutors normally run classes on Tuesday evenings but we can often be flexible on this.

Students receive a recording of each lesson to download and will be set homework assignments at each lesson (expected home study time approximately 1 hour a week). Up to seven students can attend each course. This is a rolling program with regular launch dates, contact CS UK for next available training. An attendance certificate will be sent to students who have fully engaged with this training and completed the final homework assignment.

Location:
Students study in their own homes or work places.

Equipment required:
We recommend that you use a lap-top or computer for good screen size but students do successfully use tablets and phones, try to ensure you are well-lit. You will regularly have documents emailed to you and you will need to print out at least the CS Chart.

*For groups bookings, we recommend you contact our offices, and we can raise one invoice to cover the group.

£120 for the full course
