You will then have shadow shifts with our experienced Care Professionals out in the field, with the option to have as many as these as you need, there’s no pressure! All of this training will land you a City and Guilds certified care certificate after 12 weeks. Your training is continual and include refresher classes to keep you informed of the latest policies, ensuring that you carry out the best care.
