Wheelchair Service Training of Trainers package

Overview

It is estimated that there are more than 70 million people worldwide who require wheelchairs, yet only 5-15% of people have access. To address this, WHO has developed a series of  Wheelchair Service Training Packages. The Wheelchair Service Training of Trainers package (WSTPtot) is the fourth package in this series and focuses on developing trainers to deliver the four packages.

The WSTPtot can be delivered in 40 hours and is made up of four modules:

• Core training skills – two days
• Basic Level (WSTPb) – three days
• Intermediate Level (WSTPi) – three days
• Managers and Stakeholders (WSTPm/s) – three days.

All trainees should complete the Core training skills module followed by one of the package-specific modules:

The WSTPtot Basic Level module is targeted at trainers who plan to deliver the WSTPb. Previous experience providing basic-level wheelchairs is essential; the WSTPtot has been designed assuming that trainees are able to demonstrate the competencies taught in the WSTPb.

The WSTPtot Intermediate Level module is targeted at trainers who plan to deliver the WSTPi. Previous experience providing intermediate-level wheelchairs is essential; the WSTPtot has been designed assuming that trainees are able to demonstrate the competencies taught in the WSTPi.

The WSTPtot Managers and Stakeholders module is targeted at trainers who plan to deliver the WSTPm and WSTPs. Previous experience implementing, managing or evaluating wheelchair services; or working to raise awareness among stakeholders of the need, benefit or development of wheelchair services is essential for trainees to gain the most from the WSTPtot Managers and Stakeholders module.
