Training Academy Courses
At our Training Academy, we are dedicated to providing accredited training solutions for our staff, tailored to suit varying learning preferences and needs. Our range of accredited courses ensure that our staff receive the most up-to-date and relevant training required to excel in their roles.
We offer flexible learning options, including an online training platform for convenient, self-paced learning as well as face-to-face sessions for those who prefer a more interactive, hands-on approach. Our in-house training services allow us to customise plans tailored to the specific needs of service users. Additionally, we offer the option of delivering patient-specific, on-site training directly at service user locations, maximising on convenience.
What sets us apart is that our training services are available at no cost for candidates registered with Nursing Direct and Nursdoc as our partnering agency, ensuring that our staff can access the training they need without financial barriers. Whether our staff are looking for online, in-house, or on-site training, we are committed to delivering high-quality education that helps develop the skills and confidence needed to thrive in their role.
In addition to our flexible training options, we also offer tailored training programs that can be delivered directly at a client’s working site. This allows organisations to upskill their staff within their familiar working environment, minimising disruption and ensuring training is aligned with their specific operational needs. By providing on-site training, we help healthcare teams stay current with industry standards and enhance their skills in a setting that is convenient and relevant to their daily roles.
