Learning the Fun Way
Lymphoedema Training Academy of Africa uses strategies for learning and self-growth as the foundation for all courses and programmes.
Built in collaboration with Jane Wigg, the founder of the Lymphoedema Training Academy Global, we strive to provide the most up to date and researched information available.
At LTA:Africa we use state of the art equipment to achieve the best possible outcomes. This approach creates a unique opportunity to prepare our participants for a new adventure or for the next step in their career.

Our goal is to empower people through the expansion of knowledge. These short courses/presentations/workshops are a great way to begin or continue that journey.

Integrity, ethics and having fun while learning, are the cornerstones of LTA Africa.
