DIA Events Deaf Equality Training

We have a brand new course to help bridge the gap between trainers and the deaf and hard of hearing community

With the help of his interpreter, the course will be delivered by our trainer Clive Mason who was born deaf, so you will be entering a truly immersive experience into what it’s like to be without hearing. Clive does a lot of work for the media, including the BBC’s See Hear programmes, so there are few people better placed to be able to deliver this type of training

DIA Events Grade A

We explore the Standards Check and how to best prepare for yours

My membership to the DIA shows my commitment to the industry. There are many benefits to being a member but for me, as an independent instructor, it gives me a sense of being part of a 'team'. My membership enables me to keep abreast of industry developments and changes. I have access to informative courses and seminars and to a network of well informed industry professionals. I'd feel quite isolated from the industry if I did not have DIA membership.
