Expertise, at your fingertips.
Welcome to CATTS Online Training
A service for parents, teachers and health staff.
These are the courses and talks which we have been asked to deliver over the years to parents, teachers, healthcare staff in hospitals and residential services.
We wanted to ensure a way that anyone who wanted the information, could access it, when they needed it. This single portal now gives you access to all the CATTS online training we have created, as well as allowing you book in-person classes and events (such as Lámh) when they are available. So, take a seat, and see what courses you would like to take by viewing our Full Catalogue, or browsing through the featured listing below.
