Testimonials

Later Life Training has made such a difference. Doing chairbased exercises and now Otago has changed my life. The change in the older people I work with has inspired me as a social care worker. Seeing older people gaining confidence is so humbling. I love my job so much more now.

An enlightening and very interesting few days.

Really enjoyed the training. I’m sure this will prepare me for what’s to come.

I have been training people for over 30 years I have been training my self since I was 12. I learnt a long time ago that one never knows it all. Also we can become sloppy over time with our technique. The course informed me to concentrate on the client as they performed the exercise. So that their efforts would be more effective and therefore more rewarding. I would like to praise the tutor and the female examiner for their sensitivity and understanding in dealing with experienced trainers who can at times think they know it all.

Speaking for myself, (but I’m sure it’s a common thought), I have had a tremendous time working towards my OTAGO qualification. I’ve met such great people  – I’ve really enjoyed spending three days or so with you all you are all wonderfully talented people and it’s been an honour to get to know you all :-)

I can say without a doubt that this has made a big difference to my professional life with the new skill set that I’ll continue to put to use.

Kelsey, you deserve a massive thank you for teaching us and preparing us for our practical assessment.  You made the contact days really enjoyable and fun. It’s all been wonderful ;-)

I had no previous exercise training and have found the course very helpful as I work with the elderly in a residential setting.

The tutor made you feel at ease and taught the group on an equal level with humour throughout.

Had a really fun time learning.  Looking forward to teaching OEP

Very useful & enjoyable course and well worth
doing as a follow up to the chair based exercise course

Enjoyable course, excellent refresher in some areas, but learnt a lot in others, particularly the support needed for home exercise

As a physiotherapist, I felt I already knew the OEP
programme from downloading a manual – how wrong I was!  I learnt so much about the delivery and progression, support and motivation of older people to perform the exercises, well worth the time to attend the training!

The course tutor was excellent and gave clear instructions and positive feedback.

Thank you for delivering yet another A* course, it’s always a joy to work with LLT.
