FREE BITE-SIZED DEAF AWARENESS TRAINING ENJOYED BY OUR BCF PARTNERS!

Zebra Access offered FREE bite-sized Deaf Awareness Training as part of our commitment to our partners on the Black Country Futures (BCF) project and it was immensely enjoyed across the 3 separate sessions; judging by the positive feedback. 

Bob Marsh, our Trainer, limited the training, hence ‘bite-sized’, to 1½ hours per session and everyone thought it fitted perfectly around their very busy schedules and they were able to learn and take away so much benefit from the sessions.

Bob said “it was a privilege to provide the training and also get to meet some of our counterparts on the BCF project. I wanted to make the sessions informative, inspirational and above all, FUN for our participants to enjoy in a short space of time for each session and I think we achieved our objective”

The feedback received were all really positive and encouraging but too numerous to list them all but here are a select few facts and quotes:

• All participants said it was their first time attending an online Deaf awareness session, found it comfortable and easy participating in the training remotely
• All participants found it easy to log in via Zoom and enjoyed meeting other participants
• All said they would recommend the bite-sized Deaf awareness sessions to others

Some feedback quotes:

“Loved practising basic sign language and very engaging style of delivery by Bob” Peter Hoarle – Black Country Housing Group

“Bob is a very warm and welcoming person and engaged the session well with all the participants of the day and I thoroughly enjoyed the session. Lovely smiling faces made me feel like I had known them years! I appreciated the length of the session and felt that this was just right. Equally Bob would have continued if further questions were asked and nothing felt ‘rushed’ Superb bite-sized refresher/ introductory session and I would highly recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work Bob!” Rachel Evans – Just Straight Talk
