A program created to give teaching professionals a tool to work on the basic instrument of their work, the voice, providing them with the answers they need in this field" 

Teaching professionals require knowledge and management of their vocal apparatus, since its use is indispensable for their work.

In this sense, it is also important to know the multifactorial nature of the voice and its disorders. The changes that occur in the human voice over time are related, among other factors, to the maturation and development of the phonorespiratory system, as well as to its deterioration.

Another type of change is due to sex-related differences. There are also changes in the voice that are due to professional use and structural and functional alterations that may or may not be associated with other pathologies. All of this is evident in both normal and pathological voice.

For all these reasons, knowledge about the use of one's own voice, programs for the prevention of disorders and Voice Therapy applied to the use in different contexts, are crucial elements for the health, well-being and development of any speaker.

This type of academic education increases professionals’ ability to succeed, which results in better practice and performance that will have a direct impact on their professional work, both in the teaching field and in the field of professional communication.

This program offers a very broad view of voice disorders and physiology, with examples of successful cases. It includes all the necessary and basic techniques for the preparation and re-education of the voice, taking into account the professions that use it as their main working tool, providing tools, experiences and advances in this field, which have also been guaranteed by the teaching staff of the postgraduate certificate, as they all work in this field. Professionals will learn based on professional experience, as well as evidence-based pedagogy, which makes student training more effective and accurate.
