AMBIT Basic Five Day Training

1st March 2018

Intro

This is the basic five day training - which consists of four days of training, and one self-organised practice day that is held locally. The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families provides AMBIT training for whole teams rather than individuals. See Training Testimonials.

There are also Modified training plans for training trainers, etc.

There is Guidance for Teams Considering Applying for Training.

We encourage as many people in a team as possible to attend the training days as this helps to create the local team culture that AMBIT is trying to support local teams to create for themselves.
