Ratings from participants after completing their course, across all courses by this trainer.
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 1250,- excl. VAT per participant.
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

You learn to recognise, assess and de-escalate aggression from clients, patients and bystanders. You practise conversation techniques such as listening, summarising and asking follow-up questions, and you learn to set boundaries and stay calm under pressure. You also gain tools for building an open culture and good buddy support within your team.
The course is suitable for anyone working in healthcare or social services who deals, or may come to deal, with aggressive behaviour at work. Think of nurses, care workers and support workers in addiction care, youth care, elderly care, dementia care, mental health care, disability care and hospital care.
No, you do not need any specific prior knowledge. It does help if you have work experience with client contact, so that you can bring in your own practical examples during the exercises with the training actor.
Yes, on both course days you work with a professional training actor. The actor re-enacts situations from your own working practice, so that you can try out new techniques in a safe setting and receive immediate feedback on your approach.
Yes, on completion of the course you will receive a Learnit certificate of attendance. With it you can show your employer that you have taken the course and practised the skills covered.
Yes, this course can also be delivered in-company or as a tailor-made course for your team or organisation. We then align the content and the practical examples entirely with your field of work and with the situations you encounter.
Verbal aggression takes the form of swearing, threatening, humiliating or intimidating. Physical aggression involves hitting, kicking, grabbing or throwing objects. Both forms occur in healthcare, often caused by frustration, fear, insecurity or a medical condition. In the course you learn to recognise both forms and to respond appropriately using de-escalation techniques and clear boundaries.
The essence is to radiate calm, listen actively, summarise what you hear and ask further questions about the underlying need. It also helps to keep your distance, keep your voice low and calm, and adjust eye contact to the situation. At the right moment, you dare to press on and set boundaries. During the course you practise these techniques with an actor, so you can feel what works for you.
