Introduction

Naz Project London (NPL), the largest BME initiated sexual health agency in London is pleased to inform potential participants that the HIV Health Promotion Skills Development Training of the National African HIV Prevention Programme (NAHIP) is now fully accredited by Open College Network (OCN). To reflect this, the name has been changed to the African Community Workers' Training. Units have replaced the modules. These units are accredited at different levels and assigned different credit values. As a result of these changes, successful participants will have options of being awarded OCN or NAHIP accredited certificates. Those wanting to be awarded OCN accredited certificates will be required to pass a test or/and do number of hours of work placement. We are also pleased to tell potential participants that this 2008/09 training will continue to be conducted in Leeds and London . We are continuing working hand in hand with our partners- Pan-Afrique in Doncaster and Black Health Agency (BHA) in Leeds.

Training

This training programme is made up of four units. Each unit is stand-alone in combination with the other units provide a comprehensive set of knowledge, understanding and skills for African Community Workers working with African communities in HIV/AIDS prevention. A range of interactive learning techniques, from group work to learning from practice, will be used in all the units, giving participants a chance to share their experiences and learn from others. NAHIP will work with its partners to help in identifying work placement opportunities required in certain units so that participants are readily able to put into practice what they had learned during the training.

Aims

This training programme aims to enhance knowledge, understanding and develop skills that community based HIV service providers working with African communities need to deliver successful and effective HIV prevention interventions in community settings. In addition the training programme will build skills for using research-based knowledge and written NAHIP health education resources.

Cost

The training is free of charge. But applicants are advised that a £50 administration fee will be charged to those who fail to attend the course without notifying organisers one week in advance.
