This online Foundation Training Course delivered by Talking Mats Accredited Trainers, covers the same content as the in-person course and combines hands-on experience of Talking Mats with discussion and reflection of the use of the tool in a variety of real-life situations.

‍It consists of three 2-hour sessions over a 6-8-week period. Completing the course and being eligible for a certificate is dependent on attending all 6 hours of teaching (not including breaks).

Most of the content is covered in the first two sessions. Between session 2 and 3, each participant videos themselves facilitating a Talking Mat with a friend, colleague or family member. Then, in the third session, each participant shares their video with other participants. Participants regularly tell us they find this session very enjoyable and helpful.
