Blended Statutory and Mandatory Training

Combines online theory with an in-person practical assessment session. Flexible for shift workers who need to balance training with care commitments.

Our Blended Statutory and Mandatory Training offers the same extensive coverage as our one day course, but with a flexible format designed for care workers who need to fit training around shifts. The theory component is completed online at your own pace, followed by a shorter in-person practical assessment session.

This approach reduces time away from the workplace while still ensuring learners gain the practical competency needed to deliver safe, compliant care. The course is aligned with Skills for Care CSTF standards and recognised by CQC and local authorities.

Who It's For: Shift workers unable to attend a full day · Agency staff needing flexible training · Care organisations wanting to minimise downtime · Individual carers preferring self-paced learning
