Description
The Occupational Therapy Course is an in-depth training program designed to teach the fundamental skills and requirements to become a successful occupational therapist. It also explores other related professions and the career route for each profession.
Occupational therapists treat adults and individuals with physical disabilities and developmental disorders, helping them to recover and develop the skills to carry out everyday basic activities. In this Occupational Therapy Training Course, you will explore the role of an Occupational Therapist in detail, covering topics such as health & wellbeing, building self-esteem and the human need for occupation.
This Occupational Therapy Online Course also provides an insight into different physical impairments including brain injuries, with an introduction to human anatomy and physiology. You will gain the core skills required to support both adults and children and will also learn how to help your clients overcome the psychological issues that may arise from their physical disabilities, such as depression and stress.
Please note – This Occupational Therapy Course doesn’t entitle you to practise as a professional in this specific field, and the course does not meet the requirements for entry to a pre-registration occupational therapy degree programme in the UK. This course will give you insights into some of the basic theoretical knowledge of Occupational therapy to boost and shine your knowledge and advance in the next step of your learning.
