If you are an individual looking for a Makaton course, please contact me, I can advise you of how you can access Makaton Workshops within Hampshire

If you are an organisation, I may be able to deliver a Makaton Workshop at your setting or other convenient location. To enable training to take place at your venue it will be necessary for you to supply the use of a flip chart/white board and multi media projector (I have my own laptop). As part of the licence agreement for Makaton training, The Makaton Charity requires that each student receives an official Participant’s Manual and a certificate to acknowledge learners’ attendance on a Workshop. It must be stressed to students that all sessions must be attended to receive certification. The Makaton Charity is working towards formal accreditation for Makaton training, for more details visit www.makaton.org
