Course Structure

Students wishing to attend are asked to submit evidence of a map which they have carried out within their workplace.  They should submit anonymised raw data sheets for 6 hours' mapping on 5 people at least 2 weeks before the course.  Following the course, students will be required to submit a short report on the map.  Successful completion of this report and passing a written assessment exercise during the course will lead to the award of DCM 'Advanced User' status.  Student numbers on the course will be strictly limited, so please complete and return the booking form as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

On achieving `Advanced User status', students can then work towards gaining the `Approved Trainer status', through a supportive mentorship/peer review process and completion of an accredited module.
