Makaton Level 2 course is delivered over three consecutive weeks 19 May, 26 May and 9 June 5pm to 8pm. With only eight participants, everyone gets the attention they need to ensure accurate signing. It is an active workshop, which is a lot of fun, where participants work individually, in pairs and part of the full team. The course includes the theory and information with is practised in interactive sessions to help signing and accuracy in communication to embed learning. After each session participants are encouraged to practice what they have learned in their own environments.  New skills are consolidated and built on from knowledge and practiced throughout the three weeks.

Training is led by Serga Collett, a qualified and experienced Makaton Tutor and a practising early years teacher.

Makaton Level 2 builds on the knowledge gained in Level 1 training.

• teachers, TAs, early years and SEND practitioners who would like to develop their Makaton skills
