How the course works

The mentor training course
The course consists of three themes:
- Autism training by Dr Damian Milton
- Mentoring training by Dr Susan Ridout
- Mentoring practice by Karen-Anne Manghan
Each part is made of a series of lectures. Some lectures have integrated quizzes or group discussions to facilitate reflection and interaction with the course and other mentors.
The course will go live on the 19 July 2021 and can be accessed at any time.
However to facilitate timely completion and group discussion we advise these suggested timings.
Monday 12 July to Sunday 18 July 31 January
