Training Courses

CASCADE Training runs three supervision courses annually starting at different points in the year. We have chosen three relaxing venues in the heart of the country side with one near London. Each course runs for one year with the same content but a different residential format. When choosing a course it is useful to think about the format of the course ie weeks/weekends rather than just the location.
For example many people from the South choose North or West for a more intensive experience with some free time. Others choose the South and a weekend format, so as not to take time off work. Book your train in advance and save up to 50% or share lifts with other participants. The residential aspect of the training is an important feature that enhances the training experience.
