They will achieve a basic understanding of the skills and knowledge required to be an audiometric tester with confidence in applying the skills in the workplace.

The course combines theory and practical training in a compact format, utilising a range of teaching methods and materials including:

Informative lectures Practical workbook exercises Industry examples from experienced testers Demonstrations and role plays Hands-on practice session (audiometry and otoscopy)
