All courses are CPD accredited and in line with the Skills for Health Framework. These mandatory health and social care courses are important and depending on the course type are ‘mandatory’ courses in the healthcare practice sector. Employers must ensure staff are up to date with training and compliance in line with CQC requirements. These courses ensure competency and thorough knowledge of the subject, as well as ensuring good practice in the workplace.

All our classroom courses are written for different levels depending on job role, i.e, from Level 1 to Level 6. It is recommended that learners should complete introductory modules, i.e, Level 1 modules before attempting Level 3-6 courses. Those who are new to health and social care sectors should complete introductory modules, particularly the Care Certificate. Some modules require additional practical assessments in your place of employment, for example, first aid, manual handling of objects, moving and handling of people and resuscitation. These modules can be used for professional reviews and revalidation for doctors and nurses.

On completion of introductory modules, those new to health and social care sectors can proceed to complete health and social care QCF and NVQ qualifications from Level 2 up to Level 6., as well as nursing and allied health professions. Qualified health and social care professionals can use these online modules for their continuing professional development and revalidation requirements.
