Level 3 Sensory Awareness Train the Trainer

Overview of Sensory Awareness Train the Trainer

Our Level 3 sensory awareness Train the Trainer course is designed to enable those attending to confidently train their in-house teams.  During this sensory awareness course delegates will receive expert tuition from our team of experienced Trainers.  Having recently been updated this course now also includes support to monitor the competency of those administering medication.

Attendees will learn how to deliver our own sensory awareness course, with a view to them using our materials in their own internal delivery of sensory awareness training post train the trainer course.  Every person attending will also be assessed delivering a short micro teach to achieve a formal sign off of competence.

Expand your understanding and knowledge of sensory behaviours so you can prepare to support people with sensory impairment by providing even better quality of care.
