At this time, facilitating the [Shine/Strength] program does not count as an accredited facilitator course. SHINE is a community program and unless you are a teacher, we encourage you as a potential facilitator to contact your local TAFE for accredited group courses that go for 30 hours of group and facilitator training. If you are within NSW, we suggest you become an accredited associate member of the Institute of Group Leaders (www.igl.org.au).
