About the Skill Set
Skill sets are packaged units, or modules, designed to give you a solid working understanding and skills in a particular topic area. Skill sets benefit you by giving you more career opportunities and ensuring ongoing professional development. They are designed as fully online, automated courses with no live training.
Skill sets are quickly becoming recognised as an important short form of training for the modern world of work. They are seen to have a variety of purposes, including upskilling, meeting a defined industry need, and as an entry point to further training.
What’s included in this Skill Set?
This skill set includes unit readers, pre-recorded video training, supplementary reading resources, and learning activities. A multiple choice quiz to assess your learning is the final step in the process and triggers an online Certificate that you can use as evidence of professional development.

MODULE 2Supporting People with Grief and Loss Issues |
This module provides you with a framework to understand the complexities of loss, grief and mourning, and the impacts they have on people’s lives. Explored from a Christian perspective, this module helps participants build valuable knowledge of the diversity of the grieving process, and prepares you for the situations you will encounter in practice. |
