fairydollpink Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hi My SENCO has been told training in CAF that can be done online for free but unfortunately cannot remember where to find out about it. Has anyone got any ideas? We are based in Essex. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezabel Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Hi My SENCO has been told training in CAF that can be done online for free but unfortunately cannot remember where to find out about it. Has anyone got any ideas? We are based in Essex. Thanks HI Yes it can there is a whole host of information and e-learning courses on the essex website you will need to register and then just work your way through all the various areas! If you get stuck give me a shout! Edited June 2, 2010 by HappyMaz To remove link to the website which we believe is for practitioners in Essex only.

Guest Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Online learning can be so much more convenient, but the idea of doing CAF training on your own sounds really odd - surely if you are trained alongside other professionals, it gives you a chance to network, to understand their perspective etc?

fairydollpink Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 I agree, I like to share ideas and information with people on courses but at least this way it can be done in own time I suppose. Am having trouble accessing any of the pages although have registered..maybe its having a slow Sunday morning-a bit like me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezabel Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I don't think the online CAF training is intended to be done as an alternative to face to face training. HOwever, it does allow you to read all the information at your own pace, and to go back and 're-do' anything you are unsure of. The quiz at the end should highlight any aspects you are unclear on and the certificate you can print (which shows your score out of 20 questions) goes some way towards providing evidence of keeping up to date. I think it's like many things, we are all different, and for some attending a training session and chatting with others is a preferred style of learning whilst for others seeing it all in black and white and having it available whenever you want/need it is perhaps what some prefer - I think there is room for both!

fairydollpink Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Oops just realised the link to the training had been posted earlier,sorry! Half term brain sleepiness I think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 ok thanks I will try and register! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Oops just realised the link to the training had been posted earlier,sorry! Half term brain sleepiness I think!! As you might have seen from Geraldine's post above, I have deleted the link to the online CAF training because we think it might be for the exclusive use of practitioners in Essex. If we find out that it is available for anyone to use we will reinstate it. Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
