Training

Two Rhythms are pleased to offer its expertise and training opportunities for individuals and groups of people. The Two Rhythms program is recognised and delivered by staff in special schools, community day centres and play groups around the UK. Staff in our member organisations have received training with Two Rhythms and the centre in which they run our sessions holds a license for delivery.

Our training can benefit those caring in the disability sector, have an interest in creative arts or have a passion for supporting and empowering others who are multi-sensory learners. Many Community Day Centres and Special Educational Schools have trained their staff to become Two Rhythms practitioners and are facilitating Two Rhythms sessions under the Membership agreement, others have applied their learning to suit their role and develop their skills and experience.

Alongside our accredited & non accredited course we can also provide bespoke one-off CPD’s for organisations. Our training methods are a hybrid delivery of face to face and online learning.

Please see below the options we can currently offer:

Two Rhythms Certificate Course

To become a certified Two Rhythms practitioner and individual will need to complete the following two modules:

• Principles for Movement Studies for Carers – this covers the theoretical aspects of the training.

• Movement studies for Carers – which has a focus on practice/placement. This will be delivered over the course of four training days, typically held on monthly Saturdays.

The latter unit could be completed during the placement, which will either take place at Two Rhythms, or at an approved Two Rhythms Provider Centre.

This course will enable an individual to lead Two Rhythms sessions and creative movement education programmes for children and adults with profound and multiple disabilities and other sensory needs.

This course usually takes up to 1 year, with a maximum of 2 years if registered with Agored, to complete but this does depend on the individual learner. The training days are set dates, but the theory and practical side will be flexible around the individual.

Using techniques based on Laban’s creative educational movement, babies, adults, those with profound autism, challenging behaviour, complex needs, dementia and their families are benefitting from Two Rhythms sessions everyday. There are proven changes, socially and emotionally. This programme increases happiness through developing communication and social skills, relaxation and wellbeing, circulation and health.

Course fee is £650 per person. The training course can be accredited by Agored Level 3 units if requested with an additional cost (£110 for LB53CY008 Principles of Movement Studies for Carers Level 3, 3 credits / £220 for LB53CY009 Movement Studies for Carers  Level 3, 6 credits).
