CPD Epilepsy Training – Seizure Awareness & Management Course

Epilepsy affects people of all ages, and knowing how to help someone during a seizure can truly save lives. At Trained2Care, our CPD-certified Epilepsy Training gives healthcare staff, carers, and support workers the knowledge and skills to respond quickly and safely when someone has a seizure.

This course doesn’t just teach theory — it includes real-life examples, group discussions, and hands-on practice to help you feel prepared and confident in your role.

Course Overview

This training takes you through everything you need to know about epilepsy — from how it affects the brain, to recognising different types of seizures, and knowing exactly what to do in each situation.

You’ll learn how to spot early warning signs, respond calmly during a seizure, and understand emergencies like Status Epilepticus. We’ll also raise awareness about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), and help you identify when a person may be at higher risk.

You’ll also explore how epilepsy affects mental health and daily life, and how you can help someone live as independently and safely as possible. We’ll show you how to complete care plans, assess risks, and offer emotional support in a compassionate way.
