Pick+Mix Training Courses

Our Pick & Mix option is a great way of picking short, specific courses when you need them, it offers you the freedom to pick and mix micro courses that your staff would benefit from. It’s your choice, you pick the courses, you pick the time and we'll deliver them right in your workplace.

Courses

All our pick & mix courses last no longer than two hours and they are ideal for staff who need specific training, staff who are in need of some refresher training or want to build their CPD. These topics will also add benefits to residents suffering from specific medical conditions ensuring that carers have knowledge of the condition and know how to best meet their needs. The courses are an enhancement and would be seen as good practice by CQC. Each micro course once completed has its own certificate of attendance which outlines the course content. Our micro courses are delivered by our qualified Nurse trainers and Registered Paramedics. Each pick & mix cost is just £120 per group and you can have up to 12 members of staff in each group. Book 3 courses on the same day in the same workplace and save 20%.
