ColleySEN Online Training Sessions

 

ColleySEN training programmes begin with a free online consultation session to ascertain the school's needs and priorities. Thereafter, each training session will comprise 90 mins of interactive online study, supported directly by Dr Colley. ​

​

Each session includes:

 (a) a 60 min live and interactive presentation workshop led by Dr Colley on a specific area of SEN

(b) a 30 min live and interactive Q+A with Dr Colley following each session

​

Staff join the online training from home or school at an agreed time (typically 4.30-6pm local time)

​

A full SEN Training Programme comprises 6 training sessions delivered over a 12 week period, with a new training session being delivered to trainees every two weeks.

​

Schools can select the training sessions that suit their needs best from the grid below
