We proudly present the new Early Years Training Programme for autumn 2020 and spring 2021!

This will be a universal programme - so FREE to all Portsmouth Early Years providers and schools.

Please visit http://earlyyears.portsmouth.gov.uk/ to browse the programme and book your places.

The autumn term sees the introduction of virtual training which will continue into the spring term coupled, hopefully, with the re-introduction of some face to face training workshops.

Virtual training will take the form of LIVE sessions (for our clusters, briefings, getting to good learning sets) or pre recorded video workshops for the majority of our training. If you access a video workshop, you will also have the opportunity to join an interactive follow-up session several days later. The benefits of the interactive sessions are that you can meet the trainers and other delegates, ask any questions, share best practice, debate the topic and consider how you can implement changes in your practice and setting.

 

There is greater flexibility when you book a place on to a pre recorded video workshop, You will have three days from the date of the training to view the video at your leisure. You can watch at any time. You can pause. You can re-watch. You could watch with a colleague or the whole staff team. Then access the interactive follow up session using the link we send to you for live discussion about the training topic. The videos will last approximately between 1 hour and 1.5 hours and the interactive follow ups will be for 30 minutes.

Take a look at our virtual training toolkit on how to access live or pre-recorded training sessions.
