About this programme
The NWN Assessors course has been designed for professionals seeking a neurodiversity-focused qualification related to Workplace Needs Assessment. This training provides learners with the fundamentals for undertaking needs assessments in the workplace and includes the various stages of the Workplace Needs Assessment process and the relationships/communication required with the potentially numerous ‘parties’ involved.
Background
Unfortunately, there are countless individuals reluctant to speak out about challenges they face with their day-to-day work tasks and therefore they don’t seek help in a proactive way when they need it – with many only reaching out as ‘last resort’. However, when people do reach out it is vitally important that they are able to access support which is both appropriate to their needs and delivered professionally - not least because at this point, especially if delayed, this may have impacted negatively on their wellbeing and mental health.
Who is this programme for?
The programme has been designed for Human Resources professionals, those working in Learning & Development, Occupational Health, Diversity & Inclusion and other professionals including Specialist Teachers who may benefit from this workplace-focused course. There will also be people who are considering this as a potential freelance career exploring looking at this because they want to become independent provider.
We're taking bookings now for our next programme (which is delivered entirely 'online') - starting with two 'live' workshop days. To find out more please contact us.
(*Small amount of pre-reading in the week prior to these workshops).
