Short courses · AIT routes
One skill at a time, taught properly. Most of our short courses run in a half day, a day or two days — long enough to be assessed as competent, short enough to fit around a working week. Accreditation and awarding-body route are shown course by course.
Pick the treatment you want to add below. The course page then tells you everything that matters: how it runs fully online, in a small group or as a private one-to-one day, whether mentoring is worth adding, and where an eligible VTCT progression exists.
Accreditation and awarding-body route are shown course by course. AIT online accreditation is available on request.
