Courses

We run in-house and open courses. Our in-house courses are focused on the actual organisations experience with deaf people (patients, customers, employees).

We don't just run generic courses, our approach is to understand the specific issues that our clients have, we then deliver a training session that focuses on fixing those specific issues. See our case studies for examples of our approach.

Examples of sessions that we run include:

'Introduction to Deaf Awareness for Healthcare Workers'

These are ideal sessions for dental, medical and other health care staff to learn how to understand and communicate better with deaf patients. Counting for CPD hours this is a great chance to gain new skills to take back to the workplace.

"I now feel more comfortable around deaf patients"

"Absolutely brilliant- really enjoyed the session"


'Introduction to Deaf Awareness for Retail Staff'

These are ideal sessions for retail staff to learn how to understand and communicate better with deaf customers.

"Learnt useful phrases and questions to ask in sign language"

"Learnt not to be afraid of deaf people or being scared of upsetting them by asking questions."


'Introduction to Deaf Awareness for Employers'

These are ideal sessions for managers and colleagues of deaf staff members to learn how to understand and communicate better with their deaf employees. Better communication and understanding leads to better productivity.

"Very interesting and enjoyed variety of group work and pair work. Lucy was brilliant!"
