Paediatric and Adult Asthma Certificate

Face to Face courses are available in your own locality when they have been commissioned by your employer/ICB. Your training hub will be able to advise you whether these are currently available in your area.

This eLearning course is suitable for health care professionals who are caring for children and adults with asthma. It has been designed to equip health care professionals with the knowledge and confidence to be able to provide evidence-based, gold standard care from the point of an accurate diagnosis, ensuring that effective management strategies are implemented throughout. There are no formal assignments, but the course provides formative assessments, so you can evaluate your learning and knowledge.

The certificate can be completed via our virtual learning environment (VLE). Here you will have access to PowerPoint presentations with audio, interactive quizzes, and resources. You will also have access to email, telephone support or 1-2-1 ZOOM tutorials if required. You will be able to access the course for 3 months from enrolment, however one extension can be given at no additional cost, and additional extensions for a small administration fee. There are no set start dates for the eLearning route, to allow for greater flexibility.

Significant discounts can be given to ICB’s or training hubs who commission our courses either face to face or via eLearning. For further information please see the Commissioning page.
