Questions and Answers
Why should I educate my staff about
HIV?
Education and training are key elements in challenging and
eradicating HIV-related prejudice and discrimination and ensuring
the workplace is a safe, happy and productive environment for all
employees.
Where will the training take place?
All our courses can be run in-house. The main advantage of the
in-house service is the opportunity to adapt an existing course, or
design entirely new programmes, to meet the specific training needs
of your staff. However ACET can provide training off-site, if this
is preferred.
How long will the training take?
We would suggest a minimum of one and a half hours, but ideally
a half-day session is recommended to give everyone a chance to
discuss the issues and concerns. A short session could be included
in one of your regular staff meetings or as part of other
diversity/disability programmes.
Can you tailor a course to meet our
organisation's requirements?
A member of ACET's training team can meet with you to discuss
the best format for your organisation and tailor the content to
reflect your current HR policies and procedures, and to meet the
specific training needs of your staff.
Can you offer courses in
Portuguese?
Education and training can also be delivered in Portuguese if
your staff have a limited command of English.
How much will it cost?
The standard charge for a half-day course is just £500. This
offers excellent value with training for up to 15 staff for as
little as £34 per person.
Tailored courses incur additional charges for planning and
preparation.
What else is included in the price?
All delegates will receive certificates and a comprehensive set
of course notes. After the event the organisation will receive
feedback analysis, including copies of the evaluation forms.
What if we don't have enough staff to
make the course cost-effective?
Generally in-house training is cost-effective for six or more.
Small organisations or those with only a few staff to train, often
choose to share their course with other organisations.
How much notice should I give when
booking a course?
We would prefer at least six weeks' notice to arrange your
training. However, we will try to accommodate short-notice requests
whenever possible.
How do I book an in-house course?
Telephone Carol Neill on 01534 505957 for an informal chat and a
non-obligatory quote, or email c.neill@acet.je
What other services do you
provide?
ACET Jersey provides speakers and seminars on all the issues
relating to HIV in the workplace, including stigma and
discrimination. We also provide education programmes for
children and young people, and Skilled for Health courses for
people whose first language is not English and people with low
levels of literacy.
