4I Am Interested in Arranging Training for My School – How Can I Go About Booking This?
If you are interested in our school-based training packages, please send us a message letting us know the type of training you are looking for, the number of educators or professionals in your group, and the location of your school and whether you would prefer this training to be in person or online. Once we have these details, we will be able to provide you with a personalised quotation.
5Does FACT Offer Any Training Sessions in Person?
All our courses take place online. However, if you are interested in training for a large group or organisation, we would be happy to discuss ways in which we can present training to your group in person.
6What CPD Accreditation Does FACT Offer Professionals?
All our training courses are registered for CPD points with the South African Council for Social Service Professionals (SACSSP). Unfortunately, we do not register for CPD with the HPCSA, ASCHP or SACE. Professionals from other Councils are encouraged to apply for external CPD points through their respective registration bodies.
7What Is the FACT Funda Programme and How Does This Differ from the Existing Courses Offered by FACT?
Our existing FACT courses are specifically designed to equip professionals who specialise in the field of child therapy and assessment. These are usually in-depth courses that take place over several days. Our FACT Funda programme is designed to offer shorter, one-day sessions on topics that are relevant to a wider range of professionals. Funda has also been established to offer professionals with training that is affordable and easy to access – therefore this programme runs on a subscription of only R149pm and offers brand new training to professionals every single month. For more information visit www.factfunda.co.za .
8Does FACT Offer Any Services Directly to Children and Families?
No, FACT does not work directly with families nor offers any child assessment services. Instead, we focus on equipping the professionals who are already working in this field. If you are looking for services related to Child Assessment, Child Therapy, or Forensic Investigations into Allegations of Abuse – send us a message and we would be happy to refer you.
