Care training courses built for hands-on care and clinical settings

In health and care, training shouldn’t feel like a tick-box exercise. It should build confidence, competency, improve outcomes, and reduce risk. That’s why our courses are designed to be clear, practical and relevant, so your team can apply what they learn immediately.

You might be asking:

  • “What training do my staff actually need?”
  • “How do I keep everyone compliant without losing half the rota?”
  • “Can we train across multiple sites?”

That’s exactly what we help with.

We provide training across core mandatory topics and specialist skills, supporting induction, refreshers, competence building and ongoing CPD.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Care Training

What care training courses do we need for CQC compliance?

Most services need a core set of mandatory training topics such as safeguarding, Oliver McGowan Tier 2, infection control, fire safety, health & safety, manual handling and information governance. The exact requirement depends on your service type, staff roles, and risk profile. If you tell us whether you’re a care home, domiciliary provider, complex care service, agency, or clinic, we can recommend a training plan that matches what your team needs and supports your compliance evidence.

Do you offer complex care training for specialist service users?

Yes. We support complex care training pathways and specialist topics where staff need higher confidence and competence. Training can include clinical skills, observation and escalation awareness, medication support, and other service-user-led requirements. We can also discuss bespoke training when your service has specific needs.

Can you deliver training at our location anywhere in the UK?

Yes. We deliver face-to-face training at your venue, nationwide, and we can also host training at our academy. On-site delivery is ideal for teams who want consistent learning, minimal disruption, and practical, interactive sessions.

Do you offer online training for care homes and domiciliary teams?

Yes. Our online training option is ideal for care homes and domiciliary providers because it reduces disruption and allows staff to learn around shifts. It’s particularly useful for mandatory topics and refresher training, and it works well for multi-site or mobile teams.

How quickly can we get staff trained and certified?

Timelines depend on your chosen delivery method and the number of learners. Online learning can often be started quickly, and face-to-face training can be scheduled for your preferred dates. If you’re onboarding staff urgently (especially for agencies), speak to us and we’ll help you prioritise what’s needed first.

Can you create a training package for our sector (e.g., early years, dental, aesthetics, or veterinary)?

We regularly support different sectors and can tailor training packages to match your environment and compliance needs. Whether you’re an early years setting looking for safeguarding-focused training, or a clinic needing strong infection control and safety standards, we’ll recommend the right mix of courses and delivery formats.
