Training needs to be undertaken with passion, integrity and enthusiasm from our perspective. It needs to engage participants into wanting to make a difference, irrespective of what area of endeavour they engage in. We expect a lot of our participants - training for us is never a couple of days out of the office. It is about working hard to increase the skills, knowledge and competency of those we train. We pride ourselves on delivering well thought out, well paced and focussed training based upon a range of learning styles: we demonstrate techniques we talk about our ideas we present our ideas visually through powerpoint data shows we use role play for consolidation of learning we provide often extensive reading we encourage discussion and inquiry we videotape presentations and debrief those running the session We seek to invite people to join us in working with passion and integrity to get the best out of any training we run. HMA has a solid reputation providing high quality training across the human services sector. We work with individuals and organisations both in New Zealand and Australia to bring out the best in people. There are four areas under skills training that we want you to know about: Our New Zealand based work HMA has specialised in the youth and adult justice system since its inception. We are proud to say we have been in for the long-term and continue to contribute to best practice ideas. We believe that the exercising of bad practice has a profound impact on our communities and the families that live in them. We are therefore committed to the best quality of practice.

Historically most of our training has involved in-house courses for organisations but we are aware that many others would gain from this knowledge and skill based training.
