What does this mean for Accredited Trainers and Affiliated Schools?

We invite and encourage Accredited Trainers and Affiliated Schools to take reference from the updated curriculum. We understand many of your students come to the Centre’s Leadership course, and you will have the crucial task of helping them to be ready.

We understand there will be a need for a period of transition, and are prepared to work with you to adopt or adapt this document for your needs.

In the coming days, we will organise online dialogues with you. We offer to go over the curriculum with you through online meetings, and to answer any questions you may have.

We will also like to hear your thoughts and feedback about this process.

What does this mean for current and future students of the Centre?

For former students, we encourage them to use the document to to examine their own training needs.

As the Centre is no longer holding lower-level classes, we intend to strengthen our partnership with Affiliate Schools and explore ways to further support our Accredited Trainers.

For playbackers looking to apply for Leadership, we hope the curriculum will help to spotlight gaps in your training.
