We are excited by the demand for our ELOM tools and thrilled that organisations find them valuable in supporting their work. To ensure that we have sufficient accredited assessors available to meet the demand for our tools, we have implemented a new model for accreditation and training.

Our new model entails partnering with training partners who will implement the training on our behalf. This is an exciting opportunity for you to be recognised as an accredited training partner. We work with various organisational partners, registered occupational therapists, and psychologists, and we would love the opportunity to partner with you. We are looking for individuals or organisations that are passionate about ECD and driving improved child outcomes in South Africa.

As an accredited training partner, you will be presented with a certificate and a banner/badge to display on your website/profile. In addition, we will guarantee a minimum number of trainees per training and pay you a fee for each training completed. This could be an excellent opportunity to create an additional income stream for yourself or your organisation and to be recognised as one of our key ELOM partners.

As a training partner, you would need access to a training venue for at least 6-18 people and strong relationships with local ECD centres/schools for practice assessments conducted as part of the training (or the ability to generate strong relationships). You will be responsible for setting up the venue, arranging catering, liaising with schools and trainees and drafting the accreditation reports. We can train you or your colleagues in the tools as part of onboarding as a Training Partner.

We will provide all training materials and a set of ELOM kits to use during the training, and we will lead the accreditation process.

We believe that this would be an excellent opportunity for you or your colleagues and provide Occupational Therapists with knowledge of additional assessment tools.
