Maureen Tobin from Waterford tells us about the Ageing with Confidence Facilitators Training:
I have been working with groups of various ages, mostly around confidence building, for quite a long time now. A few years ago I did online research and I came across your course specifically aimed at older people. I have found the programmes of the training and the course very good and I wanted to apply, but life got in the way, so recently when I saw information about the training I knew that I can’t miss this opportunity again. I rang up to get more information and I was delighted to see that I didn't miss the deadline.  Now, after seeing how it looks and is being delivered I am thrilled that I got a place.
I find the course so professionally delivered by Eilish and Helen and am very pleased with its content. I am learning so much about myself and also about ageing and ageism in Ireland. The training is turning out to be more than I expected. It’s a great learning experience and I am delighted that I will be able to deliver the course to older people in the Waterford area.

The aim of the AWC facilitator-training course is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver the programme to groups of older people. The training consist of 6 sessions and is being delivered by two trainers.
