Mode of course delivery (see specific training courses for downloadable full information on content and pricing)
Training is comprised of a blend of teaching-learning approaches including narrated and read-only power point presentations, hard copy reading material, workbooks, practice-based templates, videos, learning exercises, practical experiential sessions and quizzes. The larger the course, the greater the range of teaching-learning approaches.
All courses include narrated presentations which are particularly appreciated by participants with dyslexia, but valued by all. Many practice-based examples are provided, which are valued for bringing VdTMoCA theory and the levels of creative ability alive.
Online learning courses can be completed within an agreed two-month window unless specified elsewhere in a formal written contract provided ICAN. Learners can revisit modules as many times as they want, 24-7 over a 2-month period until course completion. Any courses that remain unused two (2) months after the agreed start date will expire and shall be deemed used. On completion of the course (i.e. viewed all module content), each individual learner will receive a CPD certificate and the link to the course will expire.
The eLearning environment allows for easy access to all courses and core learning materials, indicating how many course are to be completed and have been completed.
Having selected your course, all modules are listed in the order for completion. There is opportunity to enter into a discussion and ask questions directly to the trainer.
A calendar shows all relevant upcoming events, such as webinars (if part of the course).
Participants can provide direct feedback on course modules in the comments section, enabling trainers to rapidly respond to continually improve courses.
System requirements
The courses do not support Internet Explorer versions 6-10. If you are using any of these versions, please consider switching to Internet Explorer 11 or another browser. It is recommended that you upgrade to the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
Many modules are narrated and contain images or video footage, and large in size. Therefore, it is probably best to view modules via a PC internet connection rather than on a mobile phone.

Team rates
The training must be undertaken by participants individually. This option supports lead OTs in getting teams trained at the same/similar time and enables new additions to the team to get quickly up-to-speed, as the team has 6 months for all staff to complete their respective training courses. Hence, this option seeks to support services in gaining access to the model as cost-effectively and quickly as possible.
The full amount must be paid in advance. Once a course participant has registered for the course online, his/her place cannot be transferred and the course must be completed within 2 months.
