Virtual Dementia Tour® Training
Facilitator Training is required when you initially get the VDT® program, and teaches you how to set up and conduct the VDT for your staff or the general public. This training is available online or in-person with a VDT Certified Trainer. Most needs and goals for the VDT are met by getting the program, membership/license and facilitator training. Contact vdt@secondwind.org for details and pricing.
Certified Trainers receive an advanced level of training and have additional capabilities not available to facilitators, see below for details and to apply. Click here for a current list of VDT Certified Trainers. |
