What can you teach or train with this Care Train and Trainer Qualification

Successful learners who complete this training the trainer course will also be awarded the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) qualification.

Why is this Train the Trainer Important for your Care Organisation?

By investing in your own in-house trainers, your organisation not only builds a knowledgeable team but also gains valuable flexibility and control over the learning and development of your team. Here’s why this matters:

  • Tailored Learning: In-house trainers can adapt sessions to your team’s specific needs, reflecting the unique requirements and values of your organisation rather than settling for one-size-fits-all solutions.
  • Ongoing Cost Savings: Once your trainers are qualified, delivering refresher and mandatory training internally means you save on external trainer fees and minimise disruption to rotas.
  • Consistent Quality: Having a dedicated trainer ensures that your staff receive the same standard of education, maintaining compliance with CQC expectations and best practices.
  • Greater Flexibility: Organise training when it suits your team, whether that’s accommodating shift patterns or managing last-minute demands.
  • Immediate Support: On-site trainers are on hand to clarify questions, support new starters, and embed a culture of learning throughout your care setting.
  • Supporting Regulatory Compliance: This course is carefully aligned with key regulatory requirements, including those set out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). By equipping trainers with up-to-date knowledge of best practices and care standards, the training helps organisations demonstrate staff development, evidence safe practices, and maintain essential training records, crucial elements for any successful inspection. Whether you oversee domiciliary teams, manage supported living services, or lead a care home, you’ll gain practical tools for embedding compliance into day-to-day operations, giving you greater confidence when facing audits or regulatory reviews.

For care organisations juggling daily demands, this Train the Trainer is a practical solution that streamlines learning, improves outcomes for staff and residents, and helps you stay fully up to date with regulatory standards.

How our Train the Trainer Course Maintains Quality and Consistency

Our Train the Trainer courses offer care providers a structured pathway to ensure high standards when it comes to internal training delivery. By equipping both new and experienced trainers with a shared set of skills, methods, and best practices, these courses help standardise how knowledge is passed on throughout a team or service. Here's how the Train the Trainer approach supports quality and consistency:

  • Needs-led Training: Trainers learn how to accurately assess what their teams require, tailoring content to meet specific workplace demands while ensuring nothing essential is overlooked.
  • Consistent Delivery: Participants are shown how to develop and use engaging, interactive training materials and lesson plans so that everyone receives the same key information, regardless of who is leading the session.
  • Inclusive Techniques: The training covers ways to support different learning styles, backgrounds, and levels of experience, ensuring all staff can access and benefit from the training.
  • Clear Evaluation Methods: Trainers are taught how to gather useful feedback and measure the effectiveness of each session, making it easier to spot areas for improvement and sustain high standards over time.
  • Adaptability: Practical techniques are introduced to help trainers adjust their delivery as teams, regulations, or organisational needs evolve.

Together, these elements mean that organisations are able to offer reliable, high-quality training every time—helping to build confidence in staff, and ensuring professional practice remains up to date.
