1. The Online Module. Participants complete an online module at a time that suits them, taking approximately 2.5 hours. We strongly recommend you complete this prior to the workshop.
2. The Workshop. Participants attend a three-hour workshop, which includes small group discussions of topics covered in the online module and workshop. This may be via Zoom or in person.

The cost of the complete course is $35 per person. You will require a credit card at the time of booking.

By purchasing a ticket for this training you are purchasing a ticket to the online course and the workshop. You will receive a confirmation email from Humanitix with instructions on how to access the online module and all the details for the workshop.

Upon successful completion of both the online module and workshop, you will receive a Certificate of Completion that is valid for 4 years.
