April 2020: DLF Training announces remotely-delivered Trusted Assessor course
Given the current government guidelines on social distancing DLF Training has paused all face-to-face training however we recognise that there is an urgent need for staff to feel competent in assessment skills to enable discharges to happen safely and quickly. In response to this need and for a limited time DLF will be offering its popular Trusted Assessor: Assessing for Minor Adaptations as a virtual course.
The course will meet the standards of our regular face-to-face offering but uses a blended learning approach. Learners will complete e-learning based theory, watch videos, log in to trainer-led webinars and complete assessments at home. Once complete the learner will be able to assess customers for basic equipment and adaptation needs.
To find out more about the course please email enquiries@dlf.org.uk or phone 0300 123 3084.
Please note that the information below relates to the standard face-to-face course.
