To meet the demand for high quality trainer's training programs in the group care sector, Fairstart Foundation designed an online education program for training groups of caregivers.
FairStart offers four free spaces at its first international instructor class. FairStart invites interested organizations and participants to email info@fairstartfoundation.org for more information. The first class starts January 16, 2017. FairStart provides class materials. More details about FairStart can be found on the Fairstart Webpage.
Fairstart has been designing online training programs since 2008. Fairstart has designed free online training programs in fifteen language versions. FairStart operates on all continents.
To ensure the successful implementation of its online based training, Fairstart has now developed a Certified Online Instructor Education program. The Certified Online Instructor Education program is a low-cost tool to educate key persons in your organization in how to use our online caregiver group training programs. It complies with the European Qualification Standard at level five (mastering theory and group education). NGOs can refer groups for instructor training, and individuals can sign up as well.
(Fairstart is currently working on the design of a foster care instructor education in using also its foster care training programs – this will be available during 2017).
The instructor education program is an eight module online-based curriculum which takes 4 months to complete and requires only 3-4 hours of work a week for each student. During this program, each student trains a group of caregivers, using five sessions from its online caregiver group training programs.
