International Behaviour Courses
29/11/2011We know that most of our clients are based in the UK, but we do have a growing following from further afield. Pivotal trainers have always been most happy to travel to schools all over the world and continue to do this, but we realise that the costs involved in international travel make our live training prohibitive for many of our international clients. We have quite a number of international schools now on our online Taking Care of Behaviour course. But now we have also adapted the course for our American market. The new US course is called: The Behavior Teacher Online Course. This may be more appropriate for clients who are stateside or US international schools. View our new website: www.BehaviorTeacher.com[http://www.behaviorteacher.com/] and see more info about the Behavior Teacher Online Course[http://www.behaviorteacher.com/online-behavior-pdp-for-teachers/]..... read more
