End of Life Consultant and Education Courses
From a beginners taster course, to Masterclasses and a full end of life consultant course, GDEP offers evidence-based, inclusive training that suits your schedule and your budget.
Imagine if we gave how we treat end of life as much thought as we do as other milestones. If a funeral or wake got the same treatment as a wedding, how much easier would it be to celebrate and grieve? If we researched and planned as thoroughly as we do for a holiday as we did should we lose our ability to make choices through accident, illness or disability, can you imagine how less stressed and strained our family or friends would be?
Can you imagine how many hearts and heads would be saved from irretrievable damage if we could simply admit we need to know more about death as a society?
I have developed my evidence-based online end of life training to help everyday people reduce that heartbreak. I am on a mission to transform death through sound knowledge, practical training that adults of all ages can access anytime, anywhere.

FAQ
What's different about your end of life training?
In recent times, the death positive movement has gained significant momentum. No longer content to accept off-the-rack, expensive and cookie cutter approaches to death and dying, people are standing up in record numbers for our right to die in a way that reflects us as individuals.
And why wouldn’t we? Death is our last great hurrah. The act of dying is deeply personal. So, it stands to reason that we would innovate the industry to match.
My course includes innovations, multiple perspectives and inclusive content for minority populations including kinksters, people with disabilities, and migrants.
Do you have a payment plan?
For the full course, yes.
You pay upfront for the Beginner’s cours and the Masterclasses, and the full course has the option of either a one-time payment or a 12 month payment plan.
How do I ask questions?
You can always email questions to me, or you can attend one of the regular QandA sessions we have built into the courses. These sessions are free to students.
I think I want to work in the end of life field, but how can I be sure?
If you don’t have much – or any – experience, don’t worry! Everyone starts somewhere.
If you aren’t sure if this is the right area for you, then I suggest you begin with beginner’s guide course – this will give you the background and information you need to help you decide if you want to pursue further studies in the end of life arena.
