HoNOS training

Are you looking to learn about the HoNOS family of measures?

This introductory e-learning comprises of three modules that aim to assist clinicians to understand and use HoNOS family measures. The modules should be being particularly useful for HoNOS family trainers as a way of introducing their clinicians to outcome measurement.

Please note, the e-learning modules are hosted on learn.org.nz. If you don’t have an existing learn.org.nz account, you will need to create one to access this e-learning.

If you are ready to refresh your HoNOS family of measures knowledge and need to show evidence of your refresher training then our refresher e-learning moduleis right for you.

The module can be completed for each of the HoNOS measures. The training is scenario-based, with written vignettes, case notes and videos. You need to complete two scenarios, followed by a quiz. It will take about 40 minutes, and can be done in more than one sitting.

You can download a certificate after successfully completing the e-learning module.

You will also get a reminder every two years when you are due to refresh your HoNOS training.

This e-learning module consists of case studies to increase your skills in using HoNOS, HoNOSCA, HoNOS65+, HoNOS-LD and HoNOS-secure. You can practice rating case studies and see how your rating checks out against the consensus rating.
