East Anglian DriveAbility hosts latest successful PWMS training course for retailers

East Anglian DriveAbility, the accredited Driving Mobility centre in Thetford, has recently delivered the latest Powered Wheelchair and Mobility Scooter (PWMS) Retailer Training course.

The course aims to provide safer roads for all, by ensuring retailers are trained to carry out appropriate client assessments so the most suitable mobility equipment is prescribed.

PWMS Educators Karen and Dawn ran this engaging and insightful course which was attended by a healthy number of local retailers.  All professionals who attended became qualified to ensure their customers only receive equipment that they can control safely. These approved skills can now be displayed in their respective showrooms with a qualification certificate and eye-catching window sticker.

It was a positive day with fantastic feedback from attendees which included:

“Found it interesting. Picked up points I haven’t thought about before”
