Training

Create can offer standard or tailored training courses between 1 hour and 2 days in duration on a whole range of topics.

We have provided training to youth workers, teachers, headteachers, pre-5 staff, GPs, pharmacists, dentists, primary care staff, parents and young people. All courses can be arranged in daytime, twilight or evening sessions. Please don't hesitate to contact Create to discuss your training needs.

Our courses are made available directly to organisations, rather than for individuals to sign up to. However, if you are interested, it is worth getting in touch as you may be able to join a course already organised or indeed you may be surprised by how cost-effective it is to get Create to deliver a course specifically designed for you and your colleagues.
