Introduction to Independent Living Certificate

Introduction to Independent Living Course

Living with a disability can seem challenging and not all care homes can provide the desired results. Being able to live in the comfort of your own home can do wonders for those with disabilities and allows them the peace of mind of knowing they are still in control over their own lives. But what are the costs and how do people ensure they get the care they need? This is where independent living and the various organisations surrounding the movement can help.

People who learn about independent living often benefit by learning about the various entitlements and allowances available to them, how they can personalise their care - and more. Independent living allows the disabled to live comfortably in their home and partake in their communities with ease. This course will go into detail about independent living, the principles and the prospects of independent living.

You Will Learn:

  • About what independent living is
  • The difference between independent living and care homes
  • The four principles of independent living
  • Prospects of independent living
  • Tips and advice to help live independently in your home

The Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • You will see an alternative to care homes, that allows more autonomy for those living with disabilities
  • You will learn about what independent living is and how it benefits people with disabilities
  • You will be able to figure out where to get the funding for personalised care

I found this course most interesting. Having been a Receptionist in various industries over the years, and learning more at each location, this course helped focus my thoughts 'back to basics' and made me rethink some of the things I'd learnt. Very helpful, very concise, informative and uncomplicated.

It also gave great insights into the different kind of Reception work which can be so varied. I have been put forward for a Doctors Receptionist vacancy, a 'trade' I haven't ventured into yet, and will take what I have learnt from the course to the interview and hopefully it will stand me in good stead.

I really enjoyed this course. Although I already work in customer services, I found it very informative and I picked up a lot of useful information and tips. What I liked about the course was that it was something you could do at your own pace and it was easy to follow. It made me feel more relaxed about my studying and put me at ease when it came to the final test at the end. The modules were just the right length, with plenty of content to get your teeth into but not too much that it became overwhelming, and that made it better to learn and digest what was being said. I would certainly recommend it!

Stephen Rawlinson

This is a good overview with useful hints and tips covering a broad range of administrative activities and the tools to assist in effectively carrying out these activities. Even as a seasoned administrator, I was able to learn new tips and functions within the tools that I was unaware of to make my role more effective.

Marinda Benskin

I was pleased to find the course I wanted at such a reasonable price. The system is really easy to use and the information given is clear and precise.

I like the fact you can print each module as I like to make hand written notes when studying. The course has provided me with a better understanding of the construction industry, even with all the reading it kept me interested throughout.

The customer service was prompt and very helpful, and I love that you can take your own time in completing the course.

I look forward to completing new courses in the future, Thank You!

An excellent course that looks great on any CV and opens career doors. Having an industry-recognised qualification is useful in any line of work.

I have not yet completed the course but anticipate being able to use the skills learned to broadening my careers options. Would highly recommend this course. It has plenty of supplementary material for the user and is as in-depth as it is comprehensive.

Love the flexibility of the course which allows the user to study in his/her own time which is great for those in full time employment or those with family commitments. Excellent course this far.

I have just complete the nail technician diploma award and delivered professional manicures and nail extensions to my friends and family who are very pleased with their treatments! The course was easy to follow and fun to do!
