Who it's for

The staff who deliver and oversee care day to day — and set the standard everyone else on the rota follows.
Team leaders
Responsible for safe, compliant practice on every shift — including the shifts they don't work themselves.
Managers and leads
Accountable for the systems behind safe care — and for the evidence that shows those systems work when an inspector asks.

What you receive
The record of what each person can do
Every course returns the same paperwork the same week — a documented record that each person was assessed, not just that they attended:
Certificate of competence for every delegate, issued on the day
Competency record for every delegate, opened within 48 hours
Personal action plan each delegate keeps
CPD record entry for every delegate's own portfolio
Training summary report for the home, plus trainer credentials
When you are asked how you know your staff are competent, this is the answer.
Certificates arrive on the day. The rest — the signed register, the competency records, the CPD entries and the summary report — comes back to you in the same week. We chase the forms, not you.
What delegates say
From the training room
The tutor delivered the training in a clear, professional, and engaging manner. All topics were explained thoroughly, with practical examples that made the learning easy to understand and apply. I would strongly recommend this trainer and training provider to others.
