The Core Audiology Assistant Training course includes 10 Modules, the Supervisor's Guide, the Best Practices Protocols and the Checklists and Tracking Worksheets:
Supervisor's Guide – To assist the supervising Audiologist to guide the training assistant in weekly courses that are taken online and in-practice.

Checklist and Tracking Worksheets - These checklists and tracking worksheets are designed to help keep track of the training so the supervising audiologist knows where to focus more hands-on training in-clinic. Checklists are to help make sure the assistant is not missing any steps while training. Many of these checklists can continue to be used after training is complete to help with communication between the assistant and the audiologist.
