Respiratory Training Wales Ltd
Relevant. Clear. Fit for purpose.
Here at RTW we are passionate about ensuring education is relevant. With small course sizes, we can ensure the information you receive is tailored to you. We keep things simple, sharing only what you need to know- unless you want us to push you further!!
We are proud to say that all our courses are delivered by clinically experienced, qualified and passionate University lecturers.
Clinical examples
Why learn a skill if you can’t apply it in a clinical setting?
That’s why every one of our educational courses, whether online or in-person, gives learners the chance to work through real-life clinical cases. With a wealth of cases, result sheets, and hands-on learning materials, we ensure that you get plenty of practice—because practice truly makes perfect!
Plus, select courses include remote support after completion, helping you gain confidence and succeed in applying your new skills from day one.
Innovative teaching
You won’t be bored!
Practical sessions, case studies and interactive quizzes will keep things interesting!
The course lecturers will explain difficult concepts in a clear and concise way, and have many different methods of teaching to suit all types of learner.
Our courses are purposely delivered in a way to maximise your learning. All of our key course tutors have teaching qualifications for university-level education, meaning that we understand the importance of appropriate content delivery for adults.
Practice in a safe environment
We think it’s rather important to practice clinical skills in a safe learning environment, with support on-hand. So our face-to-face courses give you this opportunity to practise as much as you can, under direct supervision!
Our online courses are best for providing you with knowledge and content that you can apply to your own practice. They are shorter in duration, and tend to cover more theory content.
Whether online or in-person, our class sizes are small, giving you plenty of opportunity to ask questions!

What our customers say
Take a look at some of the latest reviews from our customers.
“I recently attended the perform and interpret course at the Lighthouse in Swansea (most stunning CPD venue I have ever attended!). Charlie was friendly and welcoming from the start, she made the content easy to understand and apply, and kept the energy fun and lighthearted. She was happy to answer questions at any point and go over things again where people needed a recap. The group size was small which meant everyone had ample opportunity to be patient as well as practitioner to gain insight into spirometry from both sides. Would highly recommend this course and will keep an eye out for any courses of Charlie’s in the future.”
