09:00 – 17:00 GMT Saturday, 29th January 2022

Suitable for those who already teach bell handling and want to update their skills but also for those who have never taught anyone to handle a bell, Module 1 provides teachers with the skills and techniques necessary to take a ringer from their first lesson to having competent bell control.

Course delegates will learn through a mixture of practical and classroom sessions: how to break down bell handling into easy stages that the new ringer can master; about different learning types and how to adapt your teaching for them; the benefits of intensive teaching.

The practical sessions provide plenty of time to practise new teaching skills in a safe environment. Working in pairs offers the opportunity to hone observation skills and get feedback on giving feedback.
