In any field of endeavour, it is vital to stay connected with contemporary practice, and it is fun to see what is happening at the cutting edge.  Continuing development of skills and expertise, and exposure to different styles and philosophies, are aided by attending conferences and networking events.  For beginners and for those seeking certification or more formal evidence of achievement, professional training and development is another valued path.

The links below are intended to assist connection with the Web pages or email of some AFN subscribers who are offering training services.  They are not intended to offer a compendium of all that is available and users are encouraged to further enquiry.  They do not constitute endorsement or certification of the capability of any business or service provider, and users need to rely on their own judgement in pursuing any arrangement with persons or businesses.

AFN subscribers are invited to suggest other links for posting - advise by email.   In the case of links to business entities, the business entity needs to relate directly to provision of training services relevant to facilitation, and the AFN subscriber needs to certify that they have a personal, direct and principal interest in that business.   Please advise by email if you find any links which are broken or incorrect or which lead to inappropriate content.   This site is designed for access with low bandwidth (we keep it simple to keep it accessible).    If a page displays incorrectly on a widescreen monitor, narrow the visible area by moving the right hand edge of your Web browser frame inwards until the page can be displayed correctly.
