How to prepare for this course

  1. Download the PowerPoint presentation, facilitator notes, staff factsheet and knowledge check
  2. Work through the facilitator notes first. They tell you everything you need to know to prepare and deliver the PowerPoint presentation effectively. You’ll need these to hand when presenting so if you’re training remotely, print them out or have them open on a separate device so you can refer to them easily while presenting your main screen
