2025 Training Schedule

CREDENTIALING WORKSHOPS:

The Level 1 and Level 2 workshops form part of the competency requirements for the Wheeled Mobility and Postural Management credentials for EMS assessors.

We are funded by the Disability Support Services (DSS) to provide 35 training days per year.

There are cost benefits to hosting workshops. If you are a Disability Support Services funded service, consider hosting a Level 1 or Level 2 workshop. Complete a Request to Host a Workshop form so we can respond accordingly.

In 2025 we are offering more workshops to Non-Disability Support Services (DSS) assessors and suppliers. Custom workshops may also be requested.

Any general queries regarding workshops can be directed to [email protected].
