Virtual online training

Please read the guidance document below entitled 'What is Virtual Training?'.

What is Virtual Training 2024? (pdf 134kb)

Virtual training is a method of delivering educational or training content through online platforms rather than in a physical classroom. Participants engage in the training at the same time through live video conferencing tools like Microsoft Teams (or Zoom). This allows for real-time interaction.

What is Virtual Training?

Virtual Training is in place of face-to-face training which is currently not available due to Covid-19 restrictions. It is a live session with a trainer and other learners which can be done remotely using digital technology. It enables learners to listen and interact with the trainer and with other learners as you would in a face-to-face session.

What Equipment/Technology do I need?

A laptop/PC/smartphone or tablet which have a microphone and camera. This is essential in supporting your full engagement in the training session.

You will need access to the internet/Wi-Fi.

You will need access to your handouts (sent prior to the course).

The training will be delivered via Microsoft Teams but you don’t need to download the software – you can join as a ‘guest’.

How do I take part in a Virtual Training Session?

Check the ERSAB training calendar and select the course and date you wish to take part in.
Book yourself onto the course in the usual way using the booking form on the ERSAB website.
Once your booking is confirmed, you will be sent a Microsoft Team link via email along with the documents used in the training.
On the day you will need a quiet space where you will not be interrupted.
Make sure you have access to the necessary technology including the Internet.
On the day, click on the link 10-15 minutes before the session is due to start.
Make sure your camera and microphone are working.
Enter your name and click ‘join now’.
Join in the training!

The Adolescent Mind

We wanted to bring some training to your attention which we felt might be useful for practitioners who work alongside older teens in transition spaces.

Course Description

This session is an interactive session to discover how the Adolescent Mind operates and who and what influences decision making. Learners have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge around brain development, consider some myths around hormones and explore ways of how to connect with a young person in a trauma informed way.

The aim of this session is to discover how the adolescent brain operates and how and what influences can change a young person's behaviours.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Identify the qualities of the adolescent brain
Demonstrate how influences can change and shape a young persons thoughts, feelings and behaviours
Outline your role in supporting young people through this period of growth and development.
