Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me to discuss your needs, as these courses
cater to everyone!

These courses are suitable for healthcare workers who will be involved in the performing and/or reporting of spirometry, who are looking for formal training which can lead to ARTP assessment. The courses are aligned to the ARTP standards for provision of spirometry training and are delivered with a blended approach (face-to-face & virtual).

To support delegates in completing the ARTP assessment, the place of practice will need to commit to providing a spirometer which aligns to the ARTP requirements; has the ability to print z-scores, graphs of all attempted blows and uses GLI2012 reference range as the predicted values and to ensure the spirometer undergoes annual service and calibration by the manufacturer. It is recommended that applicants have basic computer skills (use drop down menus, select and accept options on a digital platform) and are able to understand and perform basic mathematical operations (multiplication, division, decimals and percentages) to successfully complete the ARTP assessment process. Protected time within the clinical setting will be required to enable the delegate to complete the ARTP assessment process.

Theses courses include:
Face-to-face and online training to provide up-to-date knowledge and practical skills in spirometry
Support to apply to the ARTP to complete assessment of competence if desired.
Monthly tutorials via digital platform to support and guide through the ARTP assessment process.
