Introduction
The information and tools provided in the Structural Dissociation training form the basis of what may be utilised by trainees in the Master Class. As such the Structural Dissociation training is a mandatory prerequisite for Master Class. Our experience has also been that attending the Structural Dissociation training immediately prior to the Master Class brings with it, specific benefits for trainees. This is so even though they may have attended previous Structural Dissociation trainings and it is now also a requirement.
This training has traditionally been provided on a face-to-face basis and advertised many months in advance so that trainees are able to plan ahead. Face-to-face trainings are still the preferred platform as they facilitate a bonding not necessarily available with online trainings. However, the presence of COVID 19 and the ongoing uncertainty it presents, in addition to the changing restrictions it has placed on travelling and proximity, have required innovative responses from trainers. To meet these fluid conditions the training may well need to be provided online at relatively short notice.
Trainees should be prepared for the possibility of such changes and not make travel and accommodation arrangements until they have confirmation of the mode of presentation.
