About the Skill Set
Skill sets are packaged units, or modules, designed to give you a solid working understanding and skills in a particular topic area. Skill sets benefit you by giving you more career opportunities and ensuring ongoing professional development. They are designed as fully online, automated courses with no live training.
Skill sets are quickly becoming recognised as an important short form of training for the modern world of work. They are seen to have a variety of purposes, including upskilling, meeting a defined industry need, and as an entry point to further training.
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disease. Many people experiencing an eating disorder suffer from depression and/or anxiety. This Skill Set equips participants with principles and strategies to help clients and carers struggling with disordered eating issues.
What’s included in this Skill Set?
This skill set includes unit readers, pre-recorded video training, supplementary reading resources, and learning activities. A multiple choice quiz to assess your learning is the final step in the process and triggers an online Certificate that you can use as evidence of professional development.
