Self Study Courses
We recognise that carers may not have the time to be able to commit to our fixed workshops, so our dementia training now offers free self-study modules covering topics such as Carers’ Rights and Dementia Awareness. These modules allow people to learn at their own pace and in their own time, with tutor support available.
Bookings for our self-study courses for carers are open at any time. Each module takes between 2 and 4 hours to complete at a time that suits you. You can save and return to your work as often as you need to and course tutors are available for consultation throughout.
You can sign up for these sessions under the each of the topics above.
At present, all our 'live' courses are delivered online, via the videoconference platform, Zoom. We will let you know when face-to-face sessions are likely to resume.
