Welcome to our newly launched website for Study Sharpe. Emm Sharpe has been a freelance tutor/trainer teaching D/deaf and hearing people in various ventures and organisations since the early 90’s.
We have been extremely humbled and grateful to have gained our new business to date by word of mouth from different colleagues and business associates over the years and we believe that this really is an essential part of developing a solid, reputable foundation for any new business venture.
We are proud of all our achievements and are now wanting to expand the business further and are ready for this exciting new chapter.
What do we offer?
A first-class professional service to local and national business to support you to meet the Equality Act obligations in terms of providing equal opportunities to both D/deaf and hearing employees/clients and/or customers.
We want to support you to ensure you are open to welcoming D/deaf employees to your organisation, offering them the same working experience and opportunities as their hearing colleagues.
How do we do this?
By creating informal, fun, interactive Deaf Awareness training courses that are individually adapted to meet the needs of your business, irrespective of your business size. We can tailor the ‘best fit’ that suits your staff’s working patterns and time constraints.
We offer short intensive half day or full day courses, condensed or longer 6 – 10-week courses depending on your requirements. Even if you are not sure what your ‘best fit’ might be, we can support you to find the best training package for your business.
