Could you and your team do with some expert advice? We run a one day training course entitled ‘The Basic Principles of Accessible Kitchen Design’covering:
- essential design principles
- tips for specific impairments
- a detailed case study
- analysis of common design errors
- new products
Designed for professionals seeking CPD, our training day will help those responsible for kitchen adaptations to gain valuable experience by sharing our expertise. Case Managers, Occupational Therapists, Grant Officers and Environmental Health Officers will benefit from this superb opportunity.
Training is delivered by our own Adam Thomas, the UK’s leading accessible kitchen designer. Adam is joined for the day by our Training Coordinator Natalie Presbury who ensures that the day runs smoothly. See Learning Outcomes and Testimonials (right) for more details
Read on to find out how to access our training.
The training course can be accessed in a variety of ways:
Custom Training Days
You supply a training room, refreshments and up to 20 delegates, and we will supply a trainer, course materials and an assistant for a fixed fee. This formula allows any group of associates, or Local Authority to train staff locally at a competitive rate. Content can be tailored to suit your department’s requirements, and fees vary depending on distance. This is a very cost-effective way of training a large group. Contact our training coordinator Natalie Presbury for details.
Disabled Living Foundation London – next available date early 2012
We have been working with the DLF for over 10 years, and our one-day training course is hosted at their headquarters on the Harrow Road, London W9 twice a year. The benefit of working with the DLF is that we are able to support their outstanding work, and also use the Equipment Centre to demonstrate various elements of the course recently fitted with a fully featured kitchen, using the latest products. The value of working with a real kitchen cannot be underestimated. This brings an extra dimension to the day and has proven especially useful to delegates who are new to kitchen adaptations. Bookings can be made via the DLF web site using this link.
Guest Speaker at Training Seminars
Adam is often invited to speak at Training Seminars and to contribute to special projects, details of which can be found under the ‘Adam Thomas’ tab. He speaks on accessible kitchen design at the CPD Professional Seminar Theatre at Naidex Birmingham, and is available to appear at other events by appointment. Contact the office to discuss your requirements in more detail.
