Specialist courses covering adult care topics including dementia care, end of life care, epilepsy awareness, stroke awareness, sensory needs, mental health, and regulated NOCN qualifications in substance misuse, learning disabilities, autism, guidance, and mediation.
Our Adult Care Specialist Courses offer Level 3 short courses focused on the specific needs of adults receiving care and support. These courses are designed for care workers, support staff, and senior practitioners who want to deepen their knowledge in a particular area of adult care practice. Each course includes a Level 3 certificate of completion and RQF credit certificates from an Ofqual recognised awarding body, unless stated otherwise. We also offer regulated NOCN qualifications at Level 2 and Level 3, covering substance misuse, learning disabilities, autism, information and guidance, and mediation skills. Grounded in the social model of care and human rights-based practice, our training promotes strength-based, person-centred approaches that see the individual, not just the condition.
