Who Should Attend
This 5 hour workshop is suitable for ACC Approved assessors and those seeking approval from ACC to become assessors.
It is aimed at senior clinicians, but will also be relevant for anyone just starting to do supported assessments.
This workshop cannot guarantee ACC approval of you to become an assessor, but it does offer guidance in how to tackle the task once you are an approved assessor.
