Higher Training Scheme

If you are an audiologist looking to progress your career, we are proud to be the first Irish University and one of seven universities to participate in the British Academy of Audiology (BAA) Higher Training Scheme starting September, 2023 with our MicroCreds courses.

 

British Academy of Audiology LogoThe Higher Training Scheme (HTS) is a formally assessed and recognised, standardised training route developed by the British Academy of Audiology (BAA). It enables individuals to demonstrate clinical competency in specialist clinical areas. Through a modular scheme, individuals can acquire the depth and breadth of knowledge, as well as competence to fulfil the needs of specialist and advanced practitioners within Audiology.

We have created a leaflet with commonly asked questions which you can find here: Higher Training Scheme. The BAA have also created the following leaflets:
