Level 2 - Includes 3 separate educational events, culminating into 2.5 days attendance. These can be undertaken by consultants/GPs/dentists/SAS and final year trainees in any order.

Certificates provided on application to Faculty Development once all three educational days have been attended (Facultydevelpoment.sw@hee.nhs.uk) Attendance at the subject matter 'Introductory' day is a pre-requisite to allow future progression to the two day 'Skilled' courses.                          

Level 3 - These two 2 day educational events consist of smaller groups  emphasising skills-training and assume a basic theoretical knowledge of the subject matter.  Application eligibility requires completion of the 'introductory' subject matter.   Both events (4 days) must be completed for HEE SW Skilled training certification. Certificates provided on application to Faculty Development once all four educational days have been attended (Facultydevelpoment.sw@hee.nhs.uk)   

Level 4  - This enables trainers to further their skills in coaching with a three day programme to be an effective coach in the workplace. This is a much more intimate course and is focused on robust content and practicality, encouraging interaction and practice. Application eligiblity requires completion of the HEE SW Level 2 training certification and at least one of the 'Skilled' 2 days courses. Certification for HEE SW Effective Coach in the Workplace will be provided on application to Faculty Development once the course is completed. (facultydevelopment.sw@hee.nhs.uk)
