Pre-Course Task:
Once registered coaches will receive a short pre-course task a minimum 2 weeks prior to the event, inclusive of reflective prompts to encourage coaches to explore their understanding of the intended content prior to the session
Synthesis Tasks:
To encourage coaches to move learning from the short term memory to the long term memory, a number of synthesis activities, together with learning resources will be sent post course to encourage the recall and retention of information.
