What is the new course?

With over a year in the making, we are delighted to be launching our much-anticipated NVR eLearning POD (ePod), as far as we know the first of its kind in the world!  Aimed initially at the English-speaking professional, but with plans to translate and adapt it to a much wider audience, including the use of sign language. 

You can now book our core training course The PartnershipProjects Foundation Level in a unique eLearning Modular (ELM) format.

The standard price of the training will be £425 (+VAT) – which is a massive 25%+ saving on our traditional 4-day Foundation Level training.

We also offer group prices, so if you are looking to train your team please contact us for a quote.

How does the training work?
Upon registration, you will receive 6 weeks of access to complete the 6 online training Modules. This can be done at your own pace. As long as you have a good internet connection, this can be done from anywhere! Once all modules are completed, you will be able to book your “Consolidation Day” training, which will take place at least 6 weeks AFTER you have completed the eLearning Modular program (ELM).

An Online “Consolidation Day” which will be hosted live over Zoom is included in the one-off training fee, HOWEVER, if you would prefer to upgrade and take the “Consolidation Day” face-to-face, you can book this for an additional £150 (+VAT). We will offer multiple dates & locations for you to choose from.

Once you have completed your “Consolidation Day” you will receive your Confirmation of Attendance certificate for the Foundation Level (NVRA Level 1), and will be eligible to proceed to the Advanced Level training.

Will I be supported?
Yes! We strongly believe in offering you supported learning. You can message our trainers at any time and they will get back to you shortly. Or if you’d prefer to discuss anything with the trainer directly, we will also host 2x drop-in video sessions per week. This will be hosted over Zoom. Details will be available in your account area. 

What are the benefits of the new eLearning Modular course (ELM)? 
People think of the ‘E’ in eLearning as ‘electronic’. And certainly, it’s electronic. But here are a few more E’s – Everywhere learning, Everyday learning, Engaging learning, Evolving learning…

1. More cost-effective – i.e. cheaper (when everything else is going up, it is wonderful that we can now offer a much more affordable product)!
2. More accessible to teams who struggle to release multiple staff for training at the same time.
3. More effective at producing good outcomes.
4. Fairer – it extends learning to more people and supports individual learning styles and needs.
5. Self-paced & time-efficient.
6. Easily adaptable, yet consistent and always developing.
7. Environmentally friendly and ecologically sound.

What have people said about the training so far?
“In the modules I saw there was a good balance of interaction. Some lessons were shorter, some were longer and I liked this difference”.
“It was very interactive; I liked the flow of it, I liked the different elements – text, videos, links, and tasks I was curious what would be coming next. I really liked seeing the practitioners”.
“It is clearly a very comprehensive training, it is very detailed and interactive.”

When can I start?
You can book your training now. Access will then be granted for you to start your training from the 12th September 2023. You will receive a welcome email with instructions on how to create your account and start your training. From this point, you will have 6 weeks of access to complete the 6 online training modules. Once completed, we will book your “Consolidation Day” to fully complete the course.

I am not very computer savvy, will help be available?
Yes, we will have a team available to support. However, even if you do not feel computer savvy, the course has been created with the user in mind, so it’s very intuitive and simple for you to easily navigate through the full course.

Once I start do I need to complete it all in one go?
No, the course has been created so that you can start & stop whenever you need a break and it will save your progress. So you can jump back in at the same place you left.

Will I be missing out on anything by doing the eLearning Modular (ELM): Foundation Level, rather than the 4-day training?
No, we have worked very hard to ensure we offer you the best training possible that is the most accessible and accommodating to all of our students. By running the course via our unique eLearning Pod (ePod), we are able to include numerous interactive activities to keep you engaged. Also by ensuring you can work at your own pace through the course structure, we are confident you will continue to receive the first-class training that PartnershipProjects strives to deliver. You will also still participate within a group setting on your “Consolidation Day”. This will take place via Zoom (included in price) OR you can book to join a face-to-face session for an additional £150+VAT.

If I attend the Launch Day Conference on the 12th September what discount will I receive?
If you have booked your place at the Launch Day on the 12th September, we will be happy to offer you a 10% discount. This can only be applied on orders which have already been purchased to attend the one-day conference. Therefore if you would like to receive your 10% discount, please ensure you book your place to attend the launch day first, you can find out more about the conference and make your booking here.

 If I do the ELM Foundation Level is it still possible to add on the 12-hour Group Supervision?
Yes, simply include the 12-hour Group Supervision when you place your order, this is priced at £200+VAT, and runs for 2-hour sessions bimonthly. Once you have completed the full Foundation Level training we will be in touch to arrange booking you onto a group. If you change your mind and decide to add the supervision at a later date, simply email rose@partnershipprojectsuk.com to arrange to add you to a group.

I still have questions…
No problem, please free to contact us with any queries you may have.

Content In-Detail

Foundation Level of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) – equivalent to NVRA Level 1.

Basic principles of NVR as a psychological intervention

By trying to control, care-givers operate within the same’ logic of control’ as the child – control or be controlled. Most violent young people refuse to be controlled. The result is symmetrical escalation (parent and child losing their temper and trying to control each other) or complementary escalation (where the child becomes more and more coercive and powerful, and their parents or caregivers increasingly give in to their demands). This inevitably leaves the adults feeling helpless, disempowered, inadequate, frustrated and desperate. NVR is fundamentally orientated around parents and carers regaining a sense of agency within themselves and towards their child. The primary goal of NVR is the repair and rebuilding of relationships within the family or other social groups the young person moves in, that have been stressed by aggression, violence and other destructive behaviours.

The five cornerstones of NVR

1. De-escalate conflict during emotionally charged incidents– parental emotional self-regulation;
2. Prioritise problematic behaviour – learning to focus on and respond effectively to the most urgent issues;
3. Break the ‘seal of silence’, overcome parental isolation and develop support networks within the family and community;
4. Raise parental or adult presence through several kinds of considered and organised protest – taking non-violent action;
5. Repair the parent-child relationship through reconciliation and reparation gestures.

Non-violent principles appear at times ‘self-evident’ – but can be very challenging to put into practice; and at other times they feel deeply counter-intuitive. However, as parents and carers continue to learn to respond to serious family difficulties more effectively within the methodology of NVR, they develop a profound understanding of reconnecting within adult-child relationships and experience the improvement of the young person’s behaviour against this background.

Whilst a number of guiding principles give NVR its structure and help parents and carers develop an understanding of the process, it also allows for individual flexibility and can be adapted to each unique family and care situation.

NVR goes beyond the behaviour to develop a coherent and positive family narrative, and help children form more secure attachment, value and feel valued in their key relationships – even, or especially when the young person refuses to engage in therapy.
