Online training
We appreciate that some workplaces in East Arnhem find it challenging to have large groups of staff offline for a day or more, or might prefer to have staff cycle through training at different times of the year. Our online course offers a more flexible, participant-focussed option for this reason.
Like our tailored workshops, our 8-week online course is facilitated by expert Yolŋu and Balanda and includes the same 10 modules. These are delivered in 1.5-hour sessions across an 8-week term, and include access to 10 eLearn modules for 6 months.
While we recommend participants complete each session consecutively, participants may complete all 8 sessions within 2 terms from the term they register for. (For example, if a participant registers for Term 1, but is unable to attend session 5, they may attend session 5 in the next term to complete the course.)
