Confidence-building courses

Health and Social Care

Information

Speak Welsh but want more confidence to use the language at work?

The Centre works with health organisations across Wales to offer a flexible scheme tailored to meet your needs.

The purpose of these sessions is to change linguistic habits and boost the confidence of those who are less confident or less used to speaking the language, so that they use Welsh where they would usually use English.

The main target audience for the scheme is individuals who can already speak Welsh — for example, those who were brought up speaking Welsh or who received Welsh-medium education — but who, for various reasons, need a boost to their confidence in order to use the language in daily life.

Content of the scheme

A team of Health and Care tutors are available to help you build your confidence in speaking Welsh in the workplace.

  • Questionnaire and initial chat to understand why you've lost confidence in your Welsh
  • One to one language mentoring sessions over a three-month period
  • Follow-up sessions at the end of the programme
  • Opportunities to practise speaking Welsh in coffee and chat groups
  • Tailored support for you – e.g. words and phrases you need in work
  • Support from your employer to take part in the scheme
