This is a new, innovative, original skills training course, and as far as can be seen, the only one existing or being fully developed in England and Wales.

  • Empower yourself! Challenge discrimination!
  • Get trained and become assertive!
  • Training at your own pace
  • Meet like-minded people and make friends

**The first course module(s) are intended now to be delivered from later on in January 2010 onwards, with topics repeated over the next 18 months, so no problem if you are not in a position to start with the first groups of participants**
Programme:

  • One to one learning support tutorials
  • Modular structure, with topics such as: housing, finance, mental health act, family, assertiveness through non-spoken communication
  • Free; or very low cost only in certain circumstances
  • A booking form is available on-line at CoolTan’s website, and you can contact Phil if you haven’t already to find out more.
  • A leaflet with proposed times/days/dates of the course workshops will be available as soon as possible, on-line and paper copies.

Times: Wednesdays 11am-1.30pm, Thursdays 2pm-5pm, plus 3rd Monday of the month 6pm-8pm.

There are just over 40 potential course participants from diverse backgrounds regularly corresponded with, and enquiries have come from individuals and organisations in at least 4 other London Boroughs.  Booking and formal registration, with the completion of in-house Open College Network-developed Stage 1 RARPA (Recognising And Recording Progress and Achievement in non-accredited learning) forms is underway.

To ensure we reach as many people as possible, please do pass this information on to anyone you know who might be interested in being involved or might like further details.
