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.
Dementia Awareness Training
We help provide Dementia Awareness training for organisations in all sectors, ranging from retail, transport, banking, health, and the voluntary and community sectors. Together, we are striving to create communities that respect, include, and support people living with dementia, their families, and supporters.

Testimonials
In 2024, Hidden Hearing rated our training course 5 stars and would recommend our dementia awareness training to others
This training was great as it gave us reassurance that we already do/action the right processes, care and advise for our own clinical needs but has given us the confidence to have a conversation to help signpost an individual or their support network with their concerns to the right people.
-Hidden Hearing, 2024
The Dementia Awareness training was informative and very well received. It has definitely made a difference with creating awareness of dementia which is so important considering its prevalence in the community.
South Dublin City Council, 2024
As an energy company it can be difficult to know how best to support our customers with specific needs but working with charities like the Alzheimer Society of Ireland can give us the confidence and reassurance that we know enough to do our best but also that we have experts who we can rely on to signpost to.
Energia, 2024
This training has given our staff huge confidence and capability for their role in the bank but also their own personal lives which is hugely important. The training was delivered in a way that it really landed with our colleagues
Bank of Ireland, 2024
