British Society of Audiology (BSA) Certificate in Otoscopy & Impression Taking (Adults & Over 5’s) 2026

British Society of Audiology (BSA) Certificate in Otoscopy & Impression Taking (Adults & Over 5’s) is organized by TJ Audiology Training will be held on Jan 21, 2026 at Sonic Laboratories Ltd, Newbury, England, United Kingdom.

Description:
The course is largely practical, but will include some theoretical components, including anatomy and physiology of the ear, onward referrals, contraindications, earmould selection and abnormalities of the ear. Two assessed components (theoretical and practical) are included in the course and delegates will be required to pass both elements in order to achieve the certificate.

Scope of Practice
Our Otoscopy & Impression Taking (adults) course prepares delegates to identify any contraindications for the procedure, and (where appropriate) to carry out impression-taking on individuals (over five years of age), accurately and safely. This course does not prepare delegates to carry out impressions where contraindications exist, and/or if there is any doubt about whether the procedure should continue. In such cases referral must be made to a suitably qualified audiological or medical professional.
