Welcome to the ACI Care Training Academy
Purpose-built for healthcare professionals, our Care Training Academy offers a focused, hands-on learning environment for up to 12 participants per session—ideal for meaningful interaction and personalised support.
Whether you're a care home worker, domiciliary carer, dentist, GP practice staff member, or allied health professional, our courses are designed with you in mind.
Course Duration
4 hours. The course normally runs from 10am to 2pm. This course can be held at our training academy or on site at the customer’s venue. The room for the training must be private as taking blood is an invasive procedure and students need the optimum learning environment to concentrate.
