Furthermore, we can also deliver this training virtually using Zoom. However, sessions delivered via Zoom will be theory only and will not include any practicals.
How long will the training last?
This training will last 2-3 hours.
We give a range of time to account for variable factors such as; underlying knowledge and competence of delegates, class interaction and engagement and reduced delegate numbers.
If a course finishes earlier than the allotted time, it will be due to one of these reasons. However, our trainer will ensure that all learning outcomes have been met.
Will attending this training make me competent?
In short, no. No classroom-based training course can give you full competency - be very wary of anyone claiming they can.
Our classroom-based assessments are designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and workplace competency.
Furthermore, we will be sure to provide you with the relevant workbooks and competency proformas to be observed and signed off within the workplace according to your local policy

The whole process from start to finish was amazing. Communication with Emma was clear and fast. She was very good at finding dates that suited both the care home and the trainer.
Julia, the trainer, was excellent. We had practical training, and all the staff, including myself, absolutely loved it. Julia was patient with staff who had never done the training before. Everyone who attended the training really enjoyed it. Well done to the whole team for being so efficient.
