It’s nice to have a ‘mentor’ – someone to guide and advise – and nicer still to be one.

This one-day CPD course, funded by the B & CE Charitable Trust, is of interest to craftspersons – both trainees and supervisors, builders and professionals. Participants will learn about mentoring, and how to help less experienced craftspeople on the road to becoming masters in their craft.

This course is set within the context of the theory and practicalities of conserving traditional/heritage buildings and will be a useful addition for those studying heritage skills Level 3 diplomas and NVQs.

This course will provide an excellent opportunity for the exchange of information and experience and will assist learners to develop their craft skill, with the ambition of eventually reaching a status similar to that of their mentor. This course will also inform employers, who may wish to nominate either themselves or one of their staff to become a mentor to guide their developing team.

The course is presented as a combination of chalk and talk, power-point presentations containing relevant colour images, flip-chart for points of interest, question and answer time and handout documents for attendees. The course is worth 6 hours of CPD and a certificate will be issued at the end of the course.

This is a free course. To book a place on this course please contact Sophie Keegan by email: info@the-nhtg.org.uk
