Learn how to react when a person has an uncontrolled seizure and help people to live normally with a life-affecting condition when you take this Epilepsy Awareness course. In biological terms, epilepsy is a common condition where sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain cause seizures, uncontrollable shaking, or a general loss of awareness. It can be distressing for the person with the disorder and cause distress to those unfamiliar with the issue. With this insightful training, you will gain an acute awareness of the causes and symptoms of epilepsy and know how to treat and support those that have the condition.         

This Epilepsy Awareness tutorial presents nine modules filled with essential information about the nature of the disorder and the best practices to uphold in order to support those with it. You will be shown the classifications and potential causes of epilepsy, the types of seizures it can induce, how it is diagnosed and treated, how it can be successfully managed, and much more. If you have a relative or acquaintance with the condition or wish to use the knowledge to help your community, you will find this valuable source of education and help for your needs.      

Please note that the Epilepsy Awareness course provides valuable and appropriate education about the symptoms and treatments of epilepsy. However, it does not offer professional qualifications to immediately work as a helper or carer in a medical capacity with those that have the condition. Always check with prospective employers and healthcare professionals before committing to care work.
