The INFANT refresher training is a 1.5-hour self-paced online course. To retain your access to the facilitator resources and to maintain your accreditation to facilitate INFANT sessions in your area, you will be required to complete a refresher training every two years.
Upcoming training dates
Monday 18 March – Sunday 14 April 2024
Cost
The refresher training is free.
Eligibility
You are eligible for refresher training one year after you’ve completed the initial online training, and then every two years subsequently. If you can’t recall your exact training date, don’t worry as you will receive an email from the team once you become eligible for refresher training.
Even if you haven’t started to implement INFANT, you are still required to complete the refresher training after one year to retain your access to the facilitator resources. The refresher training will help you to stay up-to-date with healthy eating and active play information, and allow you to connect with and hear from other INFANT program facilitators.
