Early Talk Online
Early Talk Supporting Communication and Language Online
Welcome to Early Talk Supporting Communication and Language Online training.
There are four units involved in this course. Complete pre-course activities for Unit 1. This helps to prepare for the course and also measure yourself against our staff journey. Then following your first online session, you will have building-on practice activities to complete. This is the format for the course.
Following the training we ask you to rate yourself again on our staff journey measure.
