LGBTQ+ Awareness Training Course
LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer. The ‘+’ includes people who define their sexual orientation and/or gender identity as anything other than heterosexual. In this course we will look at this in greater detail with the aim of raising awareness about people who identify as LGBTQ+.
Who should take this LGBTQ+ Awareness online training course?
This course has been designed specifically to not only educate but raise awareness about people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
We take a look at multiple areas such as myths, assumptions and stereotypes based around this topic as well as driving into the history, laws and the language that we should and shouldn’t use. This course is designed for people who may work with this community but also for anyone who would like to make themselves more knowledgeable on the topic.
We offer our courses for your LMS as SCORM files. Depending on the scope of what you need there may be a charge for this. Please connect to discuss it with us.
