Training Courses

The first peer support training course was co-produced and delivered in 2007.  Ever since, Imroc has continued to deliver peer support training for NHS and voluntary sector partner organisations, including courses for international partners.  

In 2021 Imroc started to deliver the NHSE contract where our delivery of training went from around 2-5 cohorts a year to up to 40 cohorts a year. With this increase we developed a progressive pathway for peer support training. We now offer courses for those just beginning to think about peer work, those in paid peer roles, and established peer workers looking for career progression.

We continually work with our trainees, and trainers to develop, adapt and improve our content, offer and experience of training. In 2023, we commissioned an external evaluation of our peer support training by Matter of Focus. This has given us an opportunity to reflect on what is going well and where we can make improvements.

Imroc has been working with national qualification awarding organisation, NCFE to accredit peer support courses and ensure our training is of the highest quality (www.ncfe.org.uk). We are also registered with CPD uk to provide CPD accredited learning opportunities (www.cpduk.co.uk) that meet current learning and development quality standards.
