Free Disability Training Courses

 

 

Sport Across Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent have compiled a selection of training courses around disability to help develop the workforce within the County. 

 

 

 

• Are you unsure how to coach disabled children?
• Do you want to increase opportunities for disabled children?
• Do you have disabled members in your club?
• Do you work with Aiming High Activity Projects?

These courses usually cost between £25 - £100 to attend, however through the generous support from Aiming High these courses are being offered for free.

These courses are focused on sport so are designed for coaches, volunteers, leisure centre staff and anyone involved with Aiming High Projects.

 

Funded by Aiming High, SASSOT has arranged courses at three levels.

 

The three levels are: 

• Generic
• Focused
• Specific

The Generic courses are a great introduction to disability sport and give you an overview and understanding of some of the considerations to think about when working with disabled people.

 

The Focused courses look at a type of impairment and look at some of the disabilities within each section. These courses go more in-depth and these courses are designed for people who have attended the Generic courses or are already working with disabled participants.

  

The Specific Courses are totally focused on one particular disability. These courses will go in to detail about a specific disability and the considerations and issues around sport with that particular disability. These courses are designed for people who are already working with a specific disability or wish to work with a particular disability and have attended the Generic and Focused courses.
