Training for Aged Care
Short Interactive Training Sessions
I can offer your professional and care staff an interactive training experience.
These ten sessions can be delivered in 1-1.5 hr sessions depending on your facility requirements. I can provide a flyer to advertise any session and handouts on the day.
