FINALLY! ACCESSIBLE & INEXPENSIVE VOC REHAB TRAINING

Do you want to know more about the actual role of the OT in the workplace?

Do you wish there were more easy-to-access and inexpensive voc rehab courses, which are CPD accredited?

Do you want information about how to accommodate various medical conditions in the workplace?

Do you wish you could confidently advise an employer, insurer and/or the medical team on your client’s functional & legal needs in the workplace?

 

Truth be told, there is a limited supply of practical and easy-to-digest voc rehab courses specific to the South African context, that won’t break the bank

Most OT specific CPD courses tend to be expensive and are generally hosted in the main hoods like Jozi or Slaapstad.

And of these, only a handful are targeted at OTs wanting to break into the voc rehab field.

 

For some reason, there appears to be a monopoly on who gets the “insider information” since it feels as if it is reserved for the very experienced, highly educated and super wealthy!

If you have ever wondered “how do I even get into this field?”, you are not alone! Many of us have felt frustrated that there is no step-by-step guide to help us learn the 'ins & outs' of this specific field of OT and as a result, we stay put and do not move forward. The problem is, our profession as a whole will not become a force to be reckoned with in a corporate space until we make our voices heard. But those that we rely on to teach us how to shout from the rooftops, are few in number and might not always willing to share. We just want some support and guidance and an ability to learn from mistakes they have made so that we might also contribute to the bigger picture and finally get OT recognised as the incredible profession that it is!

 

So instead, we attend various courses vaguely linked to the subject of voc rehab hoping we might pick up a pearl of wisdom or make a personal connection with someone who might just be willing to mentor us. And of course, we troll the various WhatsApp and Facebook groups grabbing at bits of info if and when it is released, all the while too frightened to ask the questions we actually have, perhaps for fear of being judged.

INTRODUCING THE ULTIMATE GUIDE  TO VOC REHAB

Since re-branding in 2019, IDA Consulting (which is just a division on Schoeman Townshend OTs) has made it our mission to promote the value of OT within a corporate space. What we have learnt along the way, is that we cannot do this alone! And so we have decided that we need to share what we know with the hopes of growing the professional impact and influence.

 

Sharing our technical knowledge, insider secrets and years of combined experience, we offer superior training rarely found elsewhere. The use of short on-demand video series’, covering a variety of topics within the voc rehab field of OT, makes it easily accessible to all OTs and allows us to keep the costs low.  

Are you ready to join 100s of other OTs, just like you, who will benefit from our targeted voc rehab series to become the skilled & well-informed voc rehab OT you always wanted to be?
