Foundation Training
An in-depth course for decision makers and senior practitioners in the fields of transport, planning, regeneration and public health. This course is delivered as an on-line remote learning course that individuals can book onto. Also, organisations can make group bookings for up to 15 participants.

Course format
The course is usually delivered as a series of online sessions using Zoom to groups of around 15 participants. There are 6 chapters which are delivered weekly over 6 weeks.
Each week there is a 2 hour seminar session going in-depth on one aspect of delivering Healthy Streets. Participants then have a few days to complete a homework assignment in their own time to apply a new tool or technique, this takes about 1 hour. The group then reconvenes in a 1 hour tutorial session to discuss what was discovered in the self-led activity and challenges that could arise in applying this in their work.
