CAADA Independent Domestic Violence Advisor training

Attendance required

The course requires 15 days attendance and the completion of five assessed worksheets that are completed away from the training room (see time commitment).

Time commitment

The course is accredited by the Open College Network and gives learners who complete the course 30 credits at Level 3. Each credit is expected to be 10 hours in total, this includes in room training, completing assessment and further reading such as training manuals, research etc.

The whole course requires 300 hours of study. The training provides approximately 100 hours. We estimate that you should allow about 50 hours to complete all the worksheets. The other 150 hours is ‘notional’ study time during which you will read your manuals, consider further research such as reading reports and government guidance and generally consider what you have learnt in the training room. You may wish to do this in your own time, or you may prefer to discuss having extra time from your employer. CAADA does not negotiate this with your employer and each project will have a different policy on study leave.
