Course Information

TJ Audiology Training conduct small group training courses run by Audiologist and Trainer Louise Hart PG Dip RCCP RHAD.

Our small group courses are between 1-3 days in duration. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with an emphasis on practical training using relevant audiology equipment. The course structure ensures that there’s always plenty of time to ask questions.

A BSA certificate is awarded to those who attend our accredited training courses and pass both the practical and written assessment on the course.

Accredited courses may be required by your personal liability insurance company to carry out impressions or audiometry testing in your field. An accredited course is also recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for those being trained to test hearing in the workplace.

Find out more about our courses below:

Otoscopy and Impression Taking

Impression taking needs to be carried out for many reasons. Most commonly in the NHS or private hearing aid dispensing, ear impressions are required to create ear moulds for hearing aids. However, ear impressions are also required for custom made swim plugs, musician’s ear plugs and custom hearing protection. In order to make the best product available, a good accurate impression is imperative.

Our Otoscopy & Impression Taking courses will teach you how to take impressions safely according to the BSA recommended procedure. You will be provided with practical time and knowledge to make sure that your impression reaches the second bend of the ear canal.

BSA Certificate in Otoscopy & Impression Taking (Adults & Over 5’s) (1 day) – – £445pp

BSA Certificate in Otoscopy & Impression Taking (Under 5’s) (1 day) – £445pp

Otoscopy & Impression Taking Refresher – £195pp

BSA Certificate in Otoscopy (2 hours 9-11am) – £245pp

Audiometry and Tympanometry

We also provide training for Occupational Health Workers/Therapists and Occupational Audiologists who work within occupational audiology and who require skills in audiometry.

The British Society of Audiology (BSA) accredits our courses in Surveillance Audiometry (formally Industrial Audiometry) and the Basic Audiometry and Tympanometry. These courses are designed for people with no or limited background knowledge or training in audiology.

Our Surveillance Audiometry course is tailored to those carrying out hearing tests in the work place for employees undergoing hearing surveillance, and includes noise management and hearing protection. The Basic Audiometry and Tympanometry course is more detailed, and may be more useful for those working alongside or within a health-based profession (e.g. assistant audiologists, nurses or GPs).

Both audiometry courses teach individuals how to carry out hearing tests according to the BSA recommended procedure. Practical and theoretical competency for this skill is assessed before a certificate is obtained. It is also possible to obtain your Audiometry and Tympanometry certificates separately.

BSA Certificate in Basic Audiometry & Tympanometry (3 days) – £845pp

BSA Certificate in Basic Audiometry (2 days) – £745pp

BSA Certificate in Tympanometry (1 day) – £450pp

BSA Certificate in Surveillance Audiometry (2 days) – £695pp

Masking in Audiometry (1 day) – £345pp

Ear Wax Removal (Aural Care) –£1095pp

Thank you, Louise, for teaching me how to take impressions and moulds! Louise is incredibly helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to answer any questions. The BSA course requires you to complete two essays, which ensures you fully understand the process and can take molds safely. I would highly recommend this course!

I have attended the Otoscopy and Impression Taking Course and really enjoyed it. Louise is a fabulous trainer. She is very thorough and knowledgeable and ensured that every course member was well looked after and had all questions answered, enabling them to work their way through the coursework. I have expanded my skill set, knowledge and experience. I was so impressed that I have just booked another course, so will back soon. Thank you Louise and Gemma.

Louise is extremely knowledgeable and friendly making audiometry and tympanometry easy to understand along with the complications that may be faced. I will certainly be attending more related courses in the future.

I attended a day training course in aural impressions to refresh and extend my knowledge with Louise. Fantastic course, packed with detail and knowledge. Full, friendly support given throughout the day as well as encouragement. Louise is great, very welcoming and so experienced as well as passionate in her field! Great group to train with and I felt reassured that the training I was receiving was to such a high standard. Would highly recommend to those who are needing training/refreshing to use TJ Audiology Training.

I did the tympanometry and audiometry course last September (2023) with Tracy James Training and I cannot fault it at all. I thoroughly enjoyed it and Louise, the trainer, couldn't have delivered and presented it any better. She was patient, helpful and full of great advice as well as being extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter. Thank you again for a great course.

Feedback from courses:

Surveillance Audiometry

“Very informative with powerpoint and we had plenty of time during the practice sessions”

Impression Taking

“Getting hands on with the impression material and being guided through the correct technique. Also being able to practice on other students”

“Very open, inclusive and interactive. Felt like you could ask anything”

“Everything was explained very well and the course leader was very patient with everyone and ensured that we were competent with all of the equipment”

“The practical side of the course was great, we had lots of opportunities to practice on different people”

Adult Impression Taking

“As a complete, beginner and slightly nervous of the practical aspect, there was a great deal of empathy and confidence building through out, you never felt left behind. It was good to be led by example, and the opportunity to practice with a hand on approach was excellent” [Training course]

“Good balance of theory and practice”

“The course is very clear and well laid out. The examples of inner ear photographs were really helpful”

“Information was on point and demonstrations showed a real professional touch without being patronising”

“Being able to practice on other students knowing you have supervision from very experienced Audiologists who can instruct you in the correct way of doing Otoscopy and Impression taking had been one of the many strengths of the course. By giving you a strong foundation in Impression taking and Otoscopy along with in-depth discussion on contraindications the course arms you with so much more confidence and knowledge to pursue this area at work”
