We offer a range of courses focused on conducting occupational audiometry. These include a half-day workshop on fitting insert earphones (which offer portable, high-level noise reduction) through to 2-day and 4-day courses which offer varying degrees of compliance with workplace audiometry legislation, Australian Standards and industry best practice.

You can view our range of courses here.

A range of teaching methods are utilised during the course to assist students to learn the key skills, including hands on practice, written exercises, role plays, industry anecdotes, visual and auditory presentations, quizzes, demonstrations and “at-elbow” supervision. We also aim to engage and challenge, and many graduates find the course to be interesting (and even fun!). Our teachers certainly enjoy what they do, and this comes out in the teaching.

We supply all practice equipment including audiometers, otoscopes and consumables. On the first day of the course students are issued with a comprehensive Course Manual and Workbook.

Lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea will be provided each day.

While conducting a hearing test can be perceived as simply “pressing buttons” there is far more involved in completing the task accurately and according to best practice. In addition to learning the best practice techniques of hearing testing our courses develop “thinking” testers who have the confidence and ability to obtain accurate results and manage routine and challenging testing situations.

The courses are taught to small-medium sized groups. This allows our teachers to provide one-on-one, hands-on practical tuition and individually tailor each student’s development of key audiometry skills.
