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.
Two stages: online theory, then practical assessment.
Complete the theory component online at your own pace. Covers all core statutory and mandatory subjects including health and safety, infection control, safeguarding, medication management, fire safety, and more. Accessible on any device, 24 hours a day.
Attend a shorter in-person session at our Cheadle Training Centre or at your premises to complete the practical assessment. This session focuses on hands-on skills such as manual handling, basic life support, and emergency response.
All core statutory and mandatory subjects across both stages including the following:
Workplace safety principles, hazard identification, risk awareness, and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Safe handling techniques, use of hoists and handling aids, risk assessment, and protecting both carer and service user.
Standard and transmission-based precautions, hand hygiene, PPE, and infection prevention in care environments.
Recognising signs of abuse and neglect, reporting procedures, and understanding your duty of care under safeguarding legislation.
Safe administration of medication, the six Rs, handling and storage, and recording requirements.
Fire prevention, evacuation procedures, and emergency response in care settings.
Basic life support principles, emergency response, and when to seek specialist help.
Data protection principles, confidentiality, and information security in health and social care.
Safe food handling, storage, and preparation, allergen awareness, and basic hygiene practice for anyone involved in preparing or serving food to the people they support.

Two stages. First, self-paced online theory covering all eight core CSTF subjects, accessible 24/7 on any device, complete it whenever suits your shift pattern. Second, a shorter in-person practical assessment, roughly 2-3 hours, at Cheadle Training Centre or onsite, focused on hands-on skills like manual handling, basic life support, and emergency response.
Just the practical assessment stage, approximately 2-3 hours, considerably less workplace downtime than the full six-hour One Day course, since the theory is done separately online.
Yes, £49 per person, £44 for Synergy members, with group discounts for 5 or more learners. The price is the same, the difference is entirely in how the training is delivered.
Shift workers who can't be released for a full day, agency staff needing flexible options, organisations wanting to minimise workplace downtime, and individual carers who prefer working through theory at their own pace.
Within 24 working hours of completing BOTH stages, the online theory and the in-person practical assessment, not after the theory alone.
Flexible training that fits around your shifts while maintaining full compliance.
