Training for Independent Support Brokers

The flagship training amongst these courses is the NDTi's five-day training designed specifically for people who intend to offer assistance with support brokerage as a paid service.

This training course for support brokers has a combination of features and strengths not available from any other brokerage training in the UK.

For example, the training is:

• underpinned by the learning from an international community of people who have developed and debated individualised funding and brokerage over the last thirty years - a community in which the trainers are directly involved
• informed by the NDTi's central role over the last six years in clarifying the place of the support broker within personalised services, including recent work for Skills for Care to define the training needs of brokers
• structured to provide participants with a sound, practical understanding of the stages in the process of delivering brokerage assistance, and the skills required
• the result of repeated testing and refinement as it has been delivered to around a dozen councils over the last six years
• delivered by two trainers, each of them highly experienced and expert in their own fields.

The training course is ideal as part of a strategy to develop a local resource of independent brokers, and so far has been delivered mainly under commission by local councils.
