Overview

Concussions and brain injuries can have lasting effects on a person’s cognitive, emotional, and physical wellbeing. This course offers a comprehensive theoretical understanding of how these injuries occur, their short- and long-term implications, and the strategies used to support rehabilitation and prevent recurrence. It is designed for learners seeking to expand their knowledge—whether in healthcare, education, sports, or community services—without engaging in hands-on practice.

Beginning with an introduction to brain injuries, the course explores the nature and symptoms of concussions, followed by an in-depth examination of acquired brain injuries, including their causes and impacts. A dedicated module on sports-related injuries highlights the unique challenges faced by athletes. Learners will then explore evidence-based rehabilitation techniques and proactive strategies for preventing future injuries. The course concludes with the opportunity to earn a free CPD certificate, validating your professional development.

Whether you're looking to support individuals recovering from brain injuries, raise awareness, or enhance your theoretical competence in the field, this course empowers you with the knowledge needed to contribute meaningfully to recovery and prevention efforts.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the fundamental types, causes, and effects of brain injuries and concussions.

  • Recognise the signs, symptoms, and complications associated with concussions.

  • Identify the different forms of acquired brain injuries and their long-term impacts.

  • Explore the relationship between sports participation and brain trauma.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
