Get trained to run Difference
In order to run the Difference course, it’s important to complete our training in order to host the course safely and confidently.
For the churches course and for the adaptation to use in prisons, this training can be completed online at any time via our training and resources hub. All hosts are required to complete the three sections within the ‘Introduction to Difference’ module, and there are also some extra top tips in the ‘How to run Difference’ section for you to browse through.
Once you’ve completed the essential training (which will take around 20 minutes), you’ll get access to all of the materials you need to host the course. The ‘Resources’ section includes digital downloads of the host guide, participant guide, slide decks and session films, as well as a link to purchase physical copies of the guide.
Live training
If you’d prefer to join a live training session, we occasionally run group sessions on Zoom to train Difference hosts across all courses types. This call will last for about two hours, and will include taking part in a sample session of the course. You can find the upcoming dates below – click on the link below to register:
Youth training sessions
Additional training is required to run Difference in schools and church youth groups so we’ve developed a session which will be delivered live via Zoom. Completing this training will give you access to all of the youth course materials on our resources hub.
The Zoom call will last for around two hours and will cover everything you need to know to run Difference with young people confidently. The Difference team will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
