Training Workshops 2008Piccolo run four 'off the shelf' training workshops. These can be 2 hours or 1 and 1/4 hours long and can be run as they are, or tailored to suit your staff or organisation's needs. We can work with small groups or large audiences, depending on the size of the venue you have in mind. We may be able to arrange a venue or deliver training at your premises. We also produce a range of training resources. With Abi's experience as a qualified NVQ trainer/assessor, the workshops are delivered to encourage individuals to participate as much as possible. You will not be expected to sing solo, but you won't be able to stop yourself joining in with the singing and actions. We are able to deliver these workshops at your workplace, at your national or regional conference or can be commissioned to run them as part of your current course. We have done this for North Tyne Metropolitan College as part of their early years training provision and also have been commissioned by Newcastle upon Tyne Surestart as part of their early years training programme, open to anyone working with children (see calendar). Next available dates are March and September 2008.The workshop titles are:
Detailed explanations of these workshops are given below. Please see what our clients say about our training. If you would like us to run a workshop for you or adapt something to suit your needs, please contact us for costings and to discuss this further. If you haven't seen us running our sessions, then please come along either to Jesmond or Whitley Bay so you can get a better idea of what we do. If you can contact us beforehand so we can chat with you when you come, that would be great, otherwise, just turn up on the day, with or without a child! See the session times for more details. 1.
