Preparation Course
The free volunteer preparation course runs for one day a week over a period of 10 weeks during the Spring and Autumn.
The course is delivered during term times between 9.30am - 2.45pm. A commitment to all sessions is essential. Each prospective volunteer is supplied with a volunteer resource file to work through each week. Throughout the course there is an element of fun and best of all no final exams!
The delivery of the course including
the use of the volunteer resource file reflects best practice.
