What Our Customers Are Saying
ACI’s blended approach meant our locum nurses completed online compliance in days, then came on‑site for BLS and manual handling. We passed a client audit with no actions.
The complex care practicals at the Chepstow academy were superb. Our team left confident with tracheostomy care and PEG feeding, and the competency evidence was spot‑on for commissioners.
Our GP practice used ACI for annual BLS and anaphylaxis plus webinar refreshers. Scheduling was easy, and the sessions were clear, inclusive, and very practical.
Radiation safety and infection control for our veterinary team were delivered across two concise sessions. Helpful, relevant, and immediately applicable.
The training provided by ACI Care Training Academy has been invaluable for our nursery team. The sessions are practical, engaging, and tailored to the needs of early years professionals. We’ve seen a real improvement in confidence and safeguarding awareness across our staff.
