Professional Courses
Delivering excellent education, professional training and robust research in deaf education and audiology to secure the future of deaf children and young people.
We offer a wide range of courses and training opportunities for anyone working in the field of deaf education or audiology. This is founded on more than 100 years of collective experience of working with profoundly deaf young people.
We are the first and only training provider in the country for the TfSI (QTOD) apprenticeship.
At Mary Hare, we teach around 160 deaf children every year. It is with this continuing experience of understanding their needs, developing strategies and techniques to further their education, and by providing the very best in technology and audiology, that we are able to offer courses to other professionals working in similar fields. We work in partnership with a number of organisations to deliver some of our courses.
