Calling all trainees: dont touch the kids and other vital lessons!

Tiny Tim · February 11, 2011, 20:05:25

Hi guys

I know we've a lot of trainee instructors and I managed to get the south dublin county council calendar for child protection courses. So ill try organise a course if you like.

So does anyone need to do one? Roughly when would you like?

This is also open to people who arent trainees but maybe considering going for level 2 or 3 instructor in the future, or might consider working with kids in any sort of role. It'd be great on a CV.

Most importantly its CHEAP just Ã¢â€šÂ¬15!!! so if your interested post up or give me a shout on 0876612534,

Dave.

I'd be interested!

Yeah, fair point, not bad on a CV, could come in handy for some sort of potential employment system in the future... I'm in.

Eoghan · February 11, 2011, 20:55:04

i'm in

Tiny Tim · February 11, 2011, 20:57:54

great! any idea of dates that would suit you ( early/mid/late x month?) iv their calendar up until decmber or if we have a group we might organise 1 just for us.

I'd have a preference for after the midterm break (ie 21st of March on) and maybe for a Sunday?
(Quite a few midterms before then)

Eoghan · February 11, 2011, 22:41:38

hmmm yeah maybe after week 8 because people will be away for the break and then theres always a few exams in week 8...

I'd like to do the course as well please.

colmnolan · February 12, 2011, 17:31:11

throw me down for that course too,
im busy every weekend until midterm break so any time during midterm or any weekend after would be sound,

Carla! · February 12, 2011, 17:53:45

you know what, i might actually take part in this

obviously im not going for trainee instructor or anything!

but it seems like great value and iv worked in a creche etc in the past and wouldn't mind a working with kids again in future. how long does the certificate last?

I've done this course before and it's well worth having on your CV even if you don't usually work with kids. As far as I'm aware you do the course once and you don't have to renew the cert again. The Sports Council also offer certs in coaching people with special needs and a club children's officer course which are very cheap and the info is worth knowing.

The second weekend of the mid-term!!

Eoghan · February 13, 2011, 09:45:20

not during the midterm!! people (me

) are away...

kjt · February 13, 2011, 09:51:27

I'm in!
