Become a Trainer
Becoming a Signalong for Babies Trainer is both rewarding and fun.
Teach babies from six to eighteen months and parents signing in a relaxed setting. Encourage and support their communication skills, reduce frustration, and help parents and babies build a stronger and closer bond with each other.
Training
Anyone can become a Signalong for Babies Trainer. All you need to do is attend a two-day online Signalong Training Course to become certified. Email training@signalongforbabies.org.uk to find out more and discuss upcoming training dates. Want to know what's included in our Training course? In March, we ran an online Training Course which we recorded and edited to provide you with an overview on what's included in the course. Watch the video here.
Delivering Courses
We've identified the most appropriate Signalong signs for those aged 9-18 months and 18 months to 3 years. Every week, you will demonstrate the signs on the learning cards as well as popular nursery rhymes.
Group sizes are limited to a maximum of nine (excluding siblings), and each course is delivered over eight weeks. Courses follow a strict session plan that we guide you through and provide most materials for.
Trainers will be given a teaching area on a first come, first serve basis calculated using postcodes to ensure all Trainers have a fair demographic patch.
Parents and carers will be given learning cards to build a vocabulary of 106 signs. You'll also discuss baby milestones and potential speech, language and communication needs by giving parents and carers the appropriate handouts, which we will provide.
