Our Training Offer
The Advonet Group is committed to providing opportunities for training and development in the belief that increasing skills and knowledge will produce more confident, better qualified colleagues which will assist the organisation in achieving its aims and objectives.
Advocacy staff will be supported to complete the Independent Advocacy Qualification (IAQ) within 12-18 months.
We also offer Introduction to Advocacy training, Effective Advocacy and Negotiation Skills (EANS) and Specialisms in Advocacy. These quality courses are run by our very experienced Advocates.
Training courses are always being quality assured and tested. We have a survey that enables us to gather feedback to ensure the courses are up to a quality standard.
Other training courses can be requested once they have been agreed with your manager as part of your development plan.
Please email [email protected] if you would like to find out more information about the training we offer.
