Training Programme

Women’s Workshop is an approved provider with the National Open College Network of qualifications in employability, enterprise, practical skills, working in the services sector, enterprise skills, mentoring, Information Advice and Guidance, and Youth Work practice. We run our own programme and can also offer these programmes to other groups.

Practical and Emotional Help Skills Training

please contact us on info@womensworkshop.net for the next availability.

This course takes learners through a process of exploring and developing the skills and knowledge needed to support women who may be facing challenges in their lives. The course is tailored to enable participants to join our mentoring team on completion, which can be a paid or voluntary role within our organisation.

The course provides participants with a Level qualification in IAG (Information Advice and Guidance) which can provide a useful stepping stone towards a career in working with people. We run Zoom sessions once a fortnight, and pair up participants to spend time between taught sessions offering one-to-one support to each other so they can practice their skills throughout the programme.

This area is where learners can find all the resources they need to complete the course work for each session, and new resources will be added as the course progresses.
