Short Course themes

The Rix Centre offers professional training courses with a difference for social carers, education and multimedia production professionals and family supporters. The unique aspect of our Short Courses is that they have places for people with learning disabilities alongside professionals and family members so that everyone can learn things from each other. Typical courses combine lectures with seminars and technical training.

Themes covered in Rix Centre Short Courses include:

  • Multimedia Advocacy for life-story telling, person-centred planning, health action planning, assistive communication etc
  • Web Accessibility for users with learning disabilities
  • Effective ICT support for inclusive e learning

Typical Short Courses are offered in 4 week module that involve one full day per week of teaching as well as required field- or home-work.
