Explore our learning offer for the health sector
Antser Learning engages within sectors where human feelings, vulnerabilities and data protection will always be priority. We believe we can change the face of this sector by changing behaviours, challenging “the standard responses” and ultimately the outcome. We innovate, think outside of the parameters, continually change and progress, whilst always keeping human sensitivity at the heart of what we do.
We provide learning and development that enables positive change that focuses on the everyday challenges for those working with children, families and adults. This includes social work professionals, occupational therapists, other social care practitioners, provider services and partner agencies such as the education sector and health.
Virtual Reality Suite
We offer a suite of courses which combines immersive Virtual Reality technology with our core safeguarding and practical course topics. This technology provides a more focused learning environment and has been proven to accelerate behaviour change through feedback from professionals which has supported them to have a greater understanding of the child’s needs. Our training enables delegates to successfully manage difficult situations through the use of key information and proven methodologies.
Our technology is intuitive for facilitators and delegates; it does not require integration with any other system – simply plug and play; and is fully supported by our dedicated Virtual Reality Tech team.
