Ideal If:
 You want to enhance your skills / knowledge for caring for adults with dementia 

You'll Learn:
 This course will enhance knowledge and skills, and is ideally suited to a learner with previous experience of dementia.

You'll Love:

Learning is completed at the students own pace and at such a way to make it relevant to their place of work so they can identify with scenarios and situations. Learners will also find the training will improve their understanding of dementia and how to work with / look after someone with dementia. Previous earners have said it has improved their understanding of how someone with dementia experiences the world and therefore makes it easier to understand and interpret behaviour and respond appropriately.

You'll Progress:
The course may help learners secure a role in the dementia care field as the course will develop key skills in working with and caring for people with dementia. The course will also develop and improve understanding of the experience of the person with dementia and assist in the overall improvement of care quality.

You'll Need:

The modules are delivered individually over the 28 weeks and will require commitment outside of the class as there is an assignment to submit for each module. Ideally students should have computer access and basic IT skills.
