Sighted guide training
Are you interested in learning how to guide someone with sight loss? Our training can teach you how to guide adults safely, with confidence, skill and empathy. Much like learning how to perform first aid, sighted guiding is a useful life skill. It will give you the confidence to know how to act when you meet someone who is blind or partially sighted, and the guiding techniques to help them if they need it.
The aim of Guide Dogs’ Sighted Guide Service is to increase the number of people in the UK who know how to offer assistance and guide an adult with sight loss safely and confidently.
