SIA Master Classes and Your Voice

All but one of our Master Classes, and all of the Your Voice courses, are delivered by spinal cord injured trainers.  They are FREE to attend for most attendees (corporate delegates will be charged £100 + VAT for a one day and £150 + VAT for a two day course) and are held within the various SCI Centres in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and also at SIA House in Milton Keynes. Below is a list of courses- please click on the one that you are interested in for details:  

• Becoming a Parent After Spinal Cord Injury Master Class
• Choosing Your Wheelchair Master Class
  
• Funding and Managing Your Care Needs Master Class
• Housing Master Class
• Making a Claim Under the Equality Act 2010 Master Class
• NEW!!! Motoring and Mobility Master Class
• Options: Life and Work after Spinal Cord Injury Master Class
• Your Voice self-advocacy course
  

Our Master Classes are primarily aimed at SCI people, but family members, carers, health professionals and Spinal Centre and voluntary sector staff, as well as any other professionals working or with an interest in the field of spinal cord injury are very welcome to attend. We actively encourage family members to come along even if their spinal cord injured relative cannot. Your Voice, however, is restricted to SCI people and (if required) family members/PAs only.

Continuing Professional Development 

We are delighted to report that our Master Classes, with the exception of our newest course, Motoring and Mobility, have been awarded Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation, which enables professionals attending the courses to claim CPD points to add to their professional development. This demonstrates our commitment to providing a high standard of training, and we are pleased that this is something we can now offer to delegates.

We suggest that five points be awarded for each SIA Master Class training day undertaken.  Upon completion of the training day a CPD certificate will be sent out to verify attendance if requested.
