You can attend one or more of the training days or you can attend all 4 depending on
what qualifications you need.
The programme will run in Copeland at the Whitehaven Harbour Youth Project.
Start times will be 9.00am till 4.30pm unless otherwise stated. Refreshments are
provided but please bring a packed lunch.
All the course fees and accreditation are offered free to volunteers in Copeland and
surrounding areas.
To make this an enjoyable learning experience we are limiting the numbers to 12 on
First Aid and 20 on the other courses so we are operating on a first come first served
basis.
Don’t worry if you don’t get onto the first batch of training. We are aiming to offer
more later in the year depending on demand and numbers so you will be placed on a
waiting list and notified when the next course will take place.
You must complete the attached application form to register for your free training.
Completed forms should be returned to Cath@cya.org.uk or posted to: Cumbria
Youth Alliance, Old Town Hall Community Hub, Oxford Street, Workington CA13
2RS.
Although there is no cost in providing the training if people fail to turn up after
registering for the training we will be charging a fee of £100 to cover all the external
trainer costs. We urge you to only fill in the registration forms if you intend to take
part in the training. If you have any questions please contact Cath Clarke on 01900
603131.
