You might have to do a few activities involving the care staff so they feel confident to do it themselves. Hopefully management will be helpful in facilitating that. You could always play the ''experience'' card, because by them helping out with activities, it will look good on their CV for when they want another job someday...
I guess it depends on your own learning style.... I am over half way through the cert 4 with South Brisbane TAFE, which is fully external. It is based on workbooks. I have found it to be fairly time consuming, but found this to be less pressure than having to attend lectures. The supervisor is happy to answer questions if I have needed help.
Thank you for providing such creative and inspiring activities! I use Golden Carers daily and My residents love all of the quizzes and Arts and Crafts activities! Golden Carers is where I go for all of my ideas!
