5. What training have I undertaken in the last 2 years, other than that already listed in the fulfilment of objectives?

There should normally be 6 objectives, 3 relating to your personal professional development and 3 to your ministry.

7. Are there specific areas in which I will need support or training in order to work towards these objectives? You may wish to share some of these objectives with your Spiritual Director, colleagues or churchwardens.
