Is your College equipped to provide the best support to your Deaf students?

Earning a certificate is an important milestone, but it doesn’t automatically make Communication Support Workers (CSWs) a qualified professional—just like having a driving licence doesn’t mean you're a skilled driver.

The real learning begins when you apply your knowledge in real-world situations, and that's where many CSWs realise the gaps in their training. This gap can hinder the quality of support provided. ?

To excel as a CSW, they need more than just the basics. They must understand the intricacies of communication support, develop the ability to handle various scenarios with confidence, and continually hone their skills.

Our comprehensive CPD training goes beyond just signing. We focus on understanding boundaries, setting clear learning expectations, and training tutors to work more effectively with deaf students.

By equipping your CSWs with the right skills, you can create an inclusive environment where deaf students can thrive academically and personally.

Our goal is to encourage independent learners, reducing dependency on support staff and fostering self-confidence in your students.
