Which course is right for your service?

Our training framework gives you a variety of strategies to best support you and your staff teams.

Our experienced trainers can directly deliver training in-person, and on-site for staff groups.

Alternatively, we offer a Train-the-Trainer model for organisations to have certified in-house trainers, who can lead on the delivery of training for your staff. Staff can join our Train-the-Trainer courses by attending one of our public courses hosted throughout the calendar year, or we can deliver a private course for your organisation.

Level One – One Day Course

Our Level One – one day course is a perfect solution for mandatory Violence & Aggression training requirements. You’ll learn how to safely and appropriately respond to behaviour from a toolkit of theoretical intervention methodologies. You’ll also learn simple and safe techniques including personal safety, prompts, guides, and disengagements (if required by your service). Our techniques are respectful, supportive, robustly risk assessed and help you maintain positive relationships.

Level Two – 2 Two Day Course

In addition to the Level One course content, our Level Two course has more time to deliver and practice additional modules, including a range of guides, escorts, and physical intervention techniques in standing and seated positions, safely, appropriate for your service setting needs. Our approach is focused on maximum care and respect, always aiming to reduce restraint and restrictive practices.

For further skills, including our Advanced Modules emergency and safety skills, please get in touch with the team at International@teamteach.com

Trainer Course Options:

With our Train the Trainer courses, staff members can become trained Team Teach trainers with an in-depth understanding of behaviour support.

You’ll then be able to deliver Team Teach training to colleagues within your organisation. Depending on the level of Train-The-Trainer course chosen will reflect in the level of training they can deliver.

Having your in-house training instructors offers you the flexibility to choose when, where and who you deliver your training to throughout the year and could be a cost-effective option for your service.

The Positive Behaviour Management Program that Team Teach offers is comprehensive, dynamic, and practical. It teaches a proactive and preventative approach to support the resident/client/service user in distress. If behaviour has escalated team teach demonstrate safe holding techniques with the least intrusive action used where possible.

The facilitator taught us to see beyond the behaviour and to question what function the behaviour served. Only then can a truly empathic, kind, and caring intervention be utilised. He was relaxed, and friendly and clearly communicated the Team Teach principles and interventions.

Our staff now feel better equipped to support our resident/client/service users in ways that lead to positive outcomes and create nurturing, respectful relationships.
