Welcome to the International Training School on Core Correctional Skills, where we believe that continuous learning is a natural part of every professional’s existence. Our one-week training program is designed to refresh and update the core skills of experienced correctional staff and provide newcomers with an innovative starting point.
During the training, you will have the opportunity to develop core correctional skills, including relationship skills, pro-social modelling, problem-solving, motivational interviewing, and cognitive restructuring. Our approach takes into account both the basics and up-to-date and evidence-based practices, ensuring that you have the most comprehensive training possible.
Building up the working alliance is a crucial aspect of the training, and we will cover everything from clarifying roles and socializing into the role to dealing with power imbalances and maintaining and developing working alliances in a digital world. We are strong believers in modern learning approaches, and our use of flip learning and other adult learning concepts will enhance not only your understanding of these skills but also their use in real-life situations. Role-play and coaching will stay at the heart of our learning approach.
This year’s training will focus on trauma-informed interventions, with more information coming soon. We can’t wait to welcome you to this exciting program in October 2023 and help you bring your skills into the 21st century with evidence-based and meaningful practices.
