Course content

Our Visual Impairment Awareness Training course aims to provide a greater understanding of sight loss and how it may affect an individual. You will learn practical ways to support someone affected by sight loss which can be applied and shared in your everyday life. This course will also benefit organisations who wish to improve their customer/visitor’s experience for those with a visual impairment.

 

The content is delivered in an interactive way, brought to life with real life examples and delivered by our team of highly experienced practitioners.

 

All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance and will leave with a range of ideas of how they, and their organisation, can be more inclusive.
