    There is a large practical element to the training, so please come suitably attired for kneeling and lying on the floor. The two days will incorporate an outdoors element, looking at situations and scenarios. It is therefore essential to come equipped with waterproofs, warm clothing and appropriate footwear – you may need to lie down on wet and muddy ground.
