Notes:
Either the "The Telephone" or the "Face to Face" section of the course can be removed and replaced with an extended session of the other section. This is to allow for groups comprised of people who only interact face to face or via the telephone.

The course is high energy and high impact. The content of the course is structured so that attendees come face to face with aggressive behaviour in a way that challenges them and lets them experience directly the benefits of the strategies and methods learnt on the course.
