Recommended Training Journey
Phonics Fundamentals is the first course in our Training Tree series and the ideal starting point for all educators.

Core Team Training is the second certified course in our Training Tree series. Designed to equip you with everything you need to successfully implement and deliver the Monster Phonics Systematic Synthetic Phonics programme, this course provides a comprehensive, in-depth training experience.
