HACB offers a range of training opportunities for visually impaired people, carers and family and for organisations and companies seeking to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act and offer their staff a deeper understanding of sight loss difficulties.
Awareness TrainingThis one-day course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to provide an appropriate level of service ands assistance to people with poor sight. This is very much a hands on learning experience in which participants experience some of the problems encountered by visually impaired people in their everyday lives and learn the basic skills required to sight guide those in need of practical support to negotiate their environment.
Courses are run periodically but can also be arranged to suit employers, groups and individuals. This course is to be accredited through Open College Network.
Please call the Branch Support Team at HACB for details.
InductionThis course is aimed at providing initial advice, support and assistance to visually impaired people who have recently been referred to, or joined the association. Accreditation is being sought from Open College Network to provide participants a first step certificate in training upon which they build towards further education and independence.
Support CourseThis course is provided for families, carers and colleagues of visually impaired people to offer some understanding of the impact of sight loss and to equip participants with skills and information to be able to better support and assist. This course is also being accredited through Open College Network.
Volunteer CoursesAs part of our commitment to the many hundreds of Volunteers who give freely of their time and energy to run HACB's 22 branches and many groups and clubs we have established training courses, ranging from sight awareness to communication and administration skills.
Regular seminars for branch officers, reviews and a Branch Conference also feature as part of this progressive approach to recognise the vital contribution made by our Volunteers to the delivery of the organisations services to visually impaired people in Hampshire.
