It is not essential to attend training courses before you can start to use K'NEX or Kid K'NEX for educational purposes. The instructions and educator guides provided with the K'NEX Education sets will prove sufficient for many K'NEX educational users.

However, training can be used to complement the educator guides, for instance:

if you need a more in-depth understanding of a K'NEX or Kid K'NEX curriculum area
if you plan to use K'NEX or Kid K'NEX in a specialist educational setting such as Family Learning
if you want to start setting K'NEX challenges
if you plan to deliver accredited K'NEX learning units

The User Group has developed the K'NEX training workshops listed below. These can all be delivered by the UK network of K'NEX training consultants, with the exception of the first two workshops, which can only be delivered at present by the K'NEX User Group.
