COMMTACS at SCoD

Andy Irvine of COMMTACS attended SCoD’s conference ‘Connect & Collaborate’ (12th March 2015) and delivered a workshop under this theme titled:

‘Learning approaches and the positive benefits of being able to deliver services to deaf and deafblind people by understanding and overcoming real or perceived barriers.’  – content focused on Return on Investment (RoI) and Return on Expectation (RoE).

Workshop was very well attended with very positive feedback being received. The example of peeling a banana (as well as the actual eating of bananas) went down very well – Intrigued? – just ask!

Looking forward to the 2016 conference which will be under the theme of ‘Communication’.

STUC Learning & RMT

stuc union learningDeaf Awareness & communication Tactics course at Caledonian MaBrayne (CalMac) in Oban for a mixture of ferry staff ranging from ‘Skipper’ to ‘Ticketing’ roles was very well received.

Course outline: This course was aimed at staff and other front-line personnel who, in their everyday duties, come into contact with people who may be deaf or deafblind. The course provides an overview of the main communication issues that are faced by deaf people in everyday lives and focuses on communication and the social and environmental issues of deafness rather than the medical model.

On-line learning …

COMMTACS have developed an innovative eLearning package that is aimed at front-line public facing service providers who would not normally be able to attend one of our face-to-face training events ….

Courses aimed at those who would not normally be able to attend either a half day or full day course.

Learn at your own pace with this cohesive and easy to use well written resource.

We appreciate that not all front line staff have the opportunity to attend a full day or even a half day Deaf Awareness course due to staff cover, service delivery/demands and of course the cost may be prohibitive.

We now offer an online/e-learning solution that allows front line staff, who normally could not attend face-to-face training.
