New Online Clinical Coach Standardisation Training

The College of Animal Welfare (CAW) is delighted to announce the launch of its new online clinical coach standardisation training!

As a clinical coach, it is a requirement that coaching skills are kept up-to-date through annual standardisation training. For CAW clinical coaches, up until now, this meant either attending a half day standardisation event at a CAW centre or booking a place at TP/Clinical Coach Congress.

The introduction of the new training system now means that clinical coaches can undertake their annual standardisation online through the college’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This will be particularly helpful for those living some distance from a CAW centre or those struggling to arrange to take time out of practice.

There are four different streams to choose from: Coaching and Student Support, Training Practice Standards, VN Training Updates and VN Knowledge base. Each stream has a number of modules with credit values which allow coaches to choose the ones that best suit their needs. In addition, a number of webinars are also planned to run throughout the year; the first of which will be held on Wednesday 12 September between 1 and 2pm.

All standardisation training (attendance courses, online training and webinars) can be booked online at https://cpd.caw.ac.uk/clinical-coach/standardisation/.
