The RAID® Refresher Day.
A 1-day course for people who have previously attended The RAID® Course. We bring the training to your own organization and up to 15 people can attend for a fixed all-inclusive fee, no matter where you are.
Executive Summary:
The 3-day RAID® course is a leading Positive Behavior Support approach for tackling challenging behavior at source: over 20,000 professionals have attended it. The purpose of the refresher day is to literally ‘refresh’ delegates who have previously attended the course: to re-invigorate them and to bring them up to speed with any developments that have occurred since they originally attended their training.
The Aims of The RAID Refresher Day:
- To revise the major components of the RAID approach.
- To address any issues that have become apparent for delegates implementing the RAID approach.
- To correct any misconceptions that have crept in since the original course.
- To renew delegates’ APT-Accreditation and access to RAID materials on the web.
- To literally ‘refresh’ delegates who have previously attended the course: to re-invigorate them.
- To bring delegates up to speed with any developments that have occurred since they originally attended their training.
Who should attend The RAID Refresher Day:
Everybody who has previously attended The RAID® Course. Some people wait for up to three years and then renew their APT-Accreditation and their access to RAID materials on the web; other services deem it good practice to have RAID refresher days every 1-2 years.
The RAID Refresher Day covers the following:
- Getting back into gear: what delegates remember from their original training.
- RAID questions for the tutor: "open house" where delegates anonymously write down any questions they wish, for the tutor to respond to.
- RAID exemplars: the finest examples of RAIDing that delegates can produce, either from their work situation or from the domestic situation.
- Coverage from the tutor of any new materials, or any new "takes" on materials, that have occurred since the original training.
- Exercise: delegates use a RAID care plan template to form a model RAID care plan for one of their patients.
- "Fresh ideas": delegates exchange all their most difficult problems, and answer them for each other under the guidance of the tutor.
- Latest developments: the tutor covers other RAID developments such as: RAID centres of excellence; Management-RAID; the RAID parent-support programme.
- Prepared RAID puzzles: the tutor presents prepared RAID conundrums for teams of delegates to solve.
- Registration: delegates register, in order to receive their certificates, and to "set the clock running again" on their access to web-based RAID materials.
What The RAID® Course will do for you:
- You will revisit the major components of the RAID approach.
- You can address any ‘issues’ that have become apparent in implementing the RAID approach.
- The tutor will spot and correct any misconceptions that have crept in since the original course.
- Your APT-Accreditation and your access to RAID materials on the web will be renewed.
- You will feel literally ‘refreshed’ in your approach to RAIDing, and to your work.
- You will be up to speed with any developments that have occurred since you originally attended your training.
- You will have the chance to address any RAID issues that have been on your mind or you are reminded of on the day.
What you receive as a result of attending the training:
You will be registered as having attended the course, thereby gaining APT's Level 1 accreditation, and receive a certificate to this effect. The accreditation gives you access to online resources associated with the course and access to the online exam if you wish to uprate your APT accreditation to Level 2.
Your registration lasts indefinitely, and your accreditation lasts for 3 years and is renewable by sitting an online refresher which also upgrades your accreditation to APT Level 2 if you are successful in the associated online exam.
Your accreditation is given value by the fact of over 150,000 people having attended APT training. See APT accreditation for full details
Booking this training is easy.
Online Live and Exclusive course (for teams and organizations):
Online Live Courses typically take slightly less time than the face-to-face course on which it is based (because of less group discussion and group exercises) but they are live and pleasingly interactive. Click here to view prices.
Delegates can be anywhere that is conducive to concentrating, all together or separate, so long as they have access to a computer with a good internet connection. And as a manager, you have ‘guaranteed completion’: you only pay for delegates who successfully complete (minimum 15).
Option 2: Bring the course to your organization:
We bring this 1-day refresher course to your own organization for a fixed fee of $5,040 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) and up to 15 people can attend.

Option 3: 'Train the Trainer':
If you or a colleague are a senior professional (e.g. consultant psychologist) and have a talent for communication and teaching, then you are welcome to apply to become an APT-accredited tutor. You could then tutor the course in your own organization, under license.
This is not only a highly appropriate use of senior professionals, but it also saves your organization the tutor-component of the fee (around 50%) each time you run it or your chosen modules.
