Click here to access the directory of courses.
Click here for the standard booking form that can be used for most of the courses (see details in directory for how to book).
All of the courses are offered free to those working in Newcastle. If you work outside Newcastle, you can still attend most of the courses, but there will be a charge (see details in directory).
This training programme will develop your knowledge and skills and support you to explore your own attitudes and values, giving a strong foundation to the sexual health work that you do. The courses use participative approaches encouraging reflection, sharing of experiences and providing you with a range of activities which you can use in your work with young people and adults.
Using the directory
The courses are divided into ‘Essential’ training, ‘Stand-alone courses’ and ‘Advanced courses’, plus a further 2 that are available on request.
We recommend that you start with the Essential training – the two-day ‘Introduction to Sexual Health for Practitioners working with Young People’ course. This provides an excellent grounding in sexual health knowledge and skills and exploration of attitudes and values. This course is a prerequisite for all of our Advanced courses.
Each course has a lead facilitator (LF) who is the contact point for further information on that course.
Please read the useful information sheet before applying and ensure that you are aware of our cancellation policy.
The ‘at-a-glance’ calendar of dates is useful when planning which training you would like to attend.
