This free dementia awareness course is designed for anyone working at a memory cafe – although it is useful for anyone who wants to understand more about how to communicate and interact effectively with people living with dementia.

The course comprises nine modules, which you will be guided through in sequence. For each, you will first be introduced to the learning objectives, then asked to watch a video, before being prompted to answer a series of multiple-choice questions based on what you have learned.

You can also access the dementia awareness training films without doing the course, or to return to them easily as a resource in the future, by clicking here – but we would recommend completing the course and answering the questions to benefit the most.
