We are also pleased to tell potential participants that we are continuing working hand in hand with Black Health Agency partner (BHA) in Manchester and Leeds in promoting the training.

Training

This training programme is made up of four units. Each unit is stand-alone in combination with the other units provide a comprehensive set of knowledge, understanding and skills for African Community Workers working with African communities in HIV and AIDS prevention. A range of interactive learning techniques, from group work to learning from practice, will be used in all the units, giving participants a chance to share their experiences and learn from others. NAHIP will work with its partners to help in identifying work placement opportunities required in certain units so that participants are readily able to put into practice what they had learned during the training.

Aims

In addition the training programme will build skills for using research-based knowledge and written NAHIP health education resources.
