Important Information

Refreshments will be provided during the five-day training, but you will need to bring your own lunch.  

Please wear comfortable clothing, we recommend trousers, and flat shoes (no open toe sandals or flip flops) when attending the training as there will be a significant practical element to the course. 

Carers are assessed throughout the course and are required to pass all elements of the training before being introduced to our clients.  This includes demonstration of CPR, which must be carried out from a kneeling position and moving & positioning practical techniques, including use of the ceiling and mobile hoist.    

Please do not attend training if you are unwell.
