Training for Business and Organisations
The Alzheimer Society offers a range of courses for businesses and organisations. These can take place online or face-to-face.
Information
We can provide Dementia Awareness training for companies or communities interested in becoming more dementia inclusive.
The courses are based on Learn Listen Link a short introductory course allowing learners to learn more about dementia, listen to the voice of the person living with dementia and think about how they can make their community a better place for people living with dementia.
This course can be delivered face-to-face (subject to tutor availability) or online via our Moodle Workplace hub.
We can engage with you to develop training content to meet the particular needs of organisations. Contact [email protected] to find out more.

Participant Feedback:
“The course has opened my eyes … I am better equipped to help with the complex needs of a person living with dementia. I see dementia as an experience rather than an illness. I have gained in-depth knowledge about how to deal with the experiences that my client goes through”
