How does it work?

On registration, participants are joined to a closed online group and given access to online learning materials. The dates of the training days are spread out usually over a 9 – 15 month period or 12 – 15 weeks apart. Principles of the subject are introduced and case studies used in a group setting to share learning and optimise reactions and decision making. Reflective, practical exercises make the learning relate back to the workplace and are marked by IRO’s own trainers.
