We are delighted that the first two online Supervisor trainings in January and March were successes with positive feedback from the participants. The last supervisor training this spring is also fully booked, but the registration for three autumn trainings (5-8 of October, 25-28 of October and 23-26 of November) will soon open up on the European Centre for SI-PASS web-site www.si-pass.lu.se/en<http://www.si-pass.lu.se/en>.
Besides these initial Supervisor trainings there are now three different additional/advanced supervisor trainings open for registration. The additional trainings are based on feedback from you as Supervisors and supplement the initial training. The trainings will be held in English and address the following topics:
· SI-PASS online. This training has been developed in response to COVID-19, but It is anticipated that many will continue to run a mixture of face to face and online SI-PASS. Therefore this workshop will explore ways to translate the model into online settings and the tools, techniques and strategies used.
· Quality Assurance SI-PASS programmes. It is essential that SI-PASS programmes have quality processes in place. To supplement the SI-PASS Supervisor training course this interactive workshop provides laser focus on the variety of quality assurance mechanisms to maintain and enhance your SI-PASS programme.
· Designing and Developing Leader training. Whether you are new to Leader training or you have been delivering training for many years, this fun and interactive workshop will facilitate sharing of practice, designing and refining SI-PASS Leader training.
The schedule for the additional Supervisor trainings during spring 2021 is as follows:
· SI-PASS online: 22-24 March 2021
· Quality assurance of SI-PASS programmes: 4-5 May 2021
· Designing and Developing Leader training: 14-15 + 17-18 June 2021 (four half days)
