African HIV Prevention Training

posted: 08/12/2009

Free training for workers delivering the National African HIV Prevention Programme (NAHIP) starts in Manchester in January (and London). The course is accredited by Open College Network (OCN). After successfully completing the course students will receive OCN or NAHIP certificates.
 

Training
There are four course units - and a total of thirteen training Mondays - from mid January to mid May.

These provide comprehensive knowledge, understanding and skills for community workers supporting African communities in HIV prevention.
 

A range of interactive learning techniques, from group work to learning from practice, will be used in all the units, giving participants a chance to share their experiences and learn from others.

NAHIP will try to identify suitable work placements needed for some course units so you can put into practice what you have learned.
 

Aims
This training programme aims to enhance knowledge, understanding and develop skills that community based HIV and AIDS service providers working with African communities need to deliver successful and effective prevention interventions in community settings.

In addition the training programme will build skills for using research-based knowledge and written NAHIP health education resources.
 

No Cost
The training is free. There is a £50 administration fee if you do not attend.
 

Training Timetable
The 200/10 training course will be provided in Manchester on Mondays from 11 January to 10 May 2010.

Make sure you tick the box for Manchester OR London.
