Trauma Awareness Certificate
Why you should study with us
Trauma Awareness Course
Any individual, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or profession, may experience a one-off trauma or frequent trauma in their lives.
Traumatic events can have a devastating effect on our psyche and mental and physical wellbeing and overwhelm our ability to cope. It’s crucial for trauma survivors to seek assistance and support, in order to be able to process their experience and move on with their lives.
Trauma awareness helps family members, caregivers, loved ones and organisations to provide trauma-informed care to people who need help.
Timely intervention and compassionate assistance can go a long way towards helping trauma survivors cultivate healthy and trusting relationships and resume normal lives. People who have suffered trauma may experience terror and intense fear, even while handling the routine interactions of day-to-day life.

This course is really good at allowing to understand yourself if you have been through trauma and the different techniques you can use to help yourself.I'm also going to use my knowledge to help others in my coaching business Gemma Cope
This is the first online course I have taken. I expected it to be more difficult logistically, more complicated and time consuming. I am pleasantly surprised at the ease with which I completed this course. It is not complicated. The information is well laid out in bite size portions, easily digestible. The couse is short and completion is enjoyable. I am looking forward to my next course with NSA. Rachel Hardiman

Chloe Hambly
Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.
Nichola Anderson
This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)

I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
Keith Smith

Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten
Excellent course, well explained and easy to understand. The course can be done at my own pace and is available on various devices. The layout of the course was excellent and the notes options is very good. The content is perfect and well structured, making it easy to understand and follow. I will definitely be taking more courses in the future.

It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.
