Ramping for Wheelchair Users: Level 2

Duration: 2.5 - 3 hours. Live training. Attendance Cert provided (3 CPD hours)

Description

We welcome attendance from all parts of the UK (and beyond). Please note however, most design standards and regulations referenced in Viva Access courses are England orientated.

 

This course builds on the essentials covered in Level 1 and is aimed at those who have already attended Level 1 or who feel they have sufficient knowledge and experience of the areas covered there. 

In Level 2 we explore more complex ramping scenarios and also look at how to assess for ramps with side-on approaches and changes of direction. We explore the pros and cons of level/sloped access vs ramped access and how to assess for each. Additional topics include: designing for users with visual impairments; the purpose and use of Ramp Design Briefs (specifications).

 

In this course we will look at: 

  • Assessing for ramps with side-on approaches and changes-of-direction e.g. ramps that go around the garden

  • Design Briefs (Specifications) for semi-permanent and permanent ramps and group exercise using the Viva Access Ramp Design Brief

  • Design considerations for users with visual impairments

  • Design considerations for handrails

  • Introduction to composite ramps for domestic properties

  • Options Appraisal for ramps: Ramped Access vs Sloped Access vs Level Access  

  • Review of one or more complex ramping schemes within a group setting

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • Electronic handouts (PDFs) provided

  • Digital Attendance Certificates issued (3 CPD hours)

  • Our online courses are interactive and typically include some or all of the following: presentations, case studies, desktop exercises, demonstration videos, discussions, breakout rooms and Q&As with trainers
