Questions About the Course
What happens when I qualify as a trainer?
When a participant passes the Timian train-the-trainer course and registers as an associate trainer with BILD ACT, they’re entitled to deliver the positive behaviour management courses within their own organisations. T
They will also be given access to our Timian Resource Centre, which consists of all of our training videos, PowerPoints and administrative paperwork for delivering courses.
What is an affiliate?
Due to the nature of the BILD Act Certification, any organisations who work with us to develop positive behaviour management trainers will be required to have Senior Trainers listed as Timian Learning and Development trainers.
Any organisation delivering our training in-house will be required to sign up as an Affiliate organisation and their trainers will need to be registered as Associate Trainers. All affiliates are listed on the BILD Act website
This satisfies the BILD Act Certification scheme, and also ensures that CQC/NHS inspectors are clear on who is allowed to deliver certified training.
Do you teach restraint techniques?
In line with Timian’s BILD Act Certification and approval from the Restraint Reduction Network, we do deliver courses which include physical restraint techniques:

Will I need a refresher?
Our BILD Act certification requires us to ensure that all our certified courses are refreshed annually.
How does your training map to PMVA?
PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) is a term that was commonly used in the health sectors from the 1980’s onwards. There are also a number of organisations who have PMVA in their title. The content of each PMVA course for each organisation delivering it, will be different, but, if it is BILD ACT Certified and RRN Approved, then it should uphold the key components. If your organisation requires PMVA training, we cover the content required and more.
