Social care & health
We are committed to providing a large variety of training courses to the Private, Voluntary and Independent Sectors free of charge.
Unfortunately, there are occasions where we do have to charge an administrative fee. Currently this is when an examination fee is payable i.e. for Medication, Basic Food Hygiene, First Aid courses.
Fees may also apply to those who work in a health care setting or in the Derby City Council area (it may be possible for providers to reclaim fees from Skills for Care).
Also we have to charge an administrative fee for any participant who withdraws from a course with less than three weeks notice. It is therefore important that participants attend training courses where possible. These costs are shown in the Training we provide section.
We provide fully qualified professionals to deliver training in a wide range of excellent venues throughout the county.
We aim to provide a flexible approach towards training to suit the needs of the establishment where possible, including delivery of courses in establishments where appropriate and full comprehensive training packs.
Working closely with Skills for Care, we ensure that new training courses are identified and provided when necessary.
We provide further training for personnel, which includes recall sessions and mandatory courses. Such training also updates legislation and policy, and attending is a part of continuing professional development.
