CPD-Accredited VI Training: First 20 Members Get Free Early AccessHi everyone,I’m Aj Ahmed, founder of the VI Confidence Academy. As a former England Blind Football captain who is completely blind, I’ve spent years helping organisations genuinely understand visual impairment—not through surface-level tick-box exercises, but through honest, practical training built from lived experience.Eye care professionals interact with visually impaired patients every day, yet traditional training rarely covers the day-to-day practicalities, communication nuances, and assistive technology barriers patients navigate outside the clinic. I designed the VI Confidence Academy to bridge that gap with clear, actionable learning you can apply directly in your practice.What the CPD Course Covers:
  • Reframing Visual Impairment: Moving beyond narrow definitions to understand modern independence and lived reality.
  • Effective Communication: Practical language and behaviour to eliminate awkwardness and build patient trust.
  • Assistive Tech & Hidden Barriers: Everyday tech, accessibility tools, and the invisible friction patients face.
  • Inclusive Environments & Practice: Setting up environments, processes, and policies that work seamlessly from the start.
  • Translating Awareness to Action: Turning clinical knowledge into confident, consistent everyday practice.
Exclusive Offer for Forum Members: The course is launching soon and is currently undergoing formal CPD accreditation (certificates will follow for early adopters once fully finalised).To ensure the course hits the mark for eye care professionals, I am offering free early access to the first 20 members who register. In return, I'm asking for your honest feedback on the content and structure to help refine it before the public launch.If you’d like to secure one of the 20 free spots or want to learn more visit here
