Our immunisation and vaccine training courses build confidence, strengthen competence and protect lives.
Vaccinations are one of the most effective public health interventions, protecting millions of people from preventable diseases every year, from childhood immunisations such as the 6-in-1 vaccine and MMR, to adult boosters such as flu and COVID-19. Ensuring vaccines are administered correctly is essential for maintaining safety, effectiveness, and public confidence.
At Guardian Angels Training, we deliver an RCN-accredited Immunisation and Vaccination Training Course that gives healthcare professionals the knowledge, skills, and confidence to administer vaccines safely, effectively, and in line with the latest UK guidance.
All our Immunisation and Vaccine training courses are delivered onsite to organisations by experienced Immunisation and Public Health Nurse Specialist Educators, ensuring training is interactive, relevant, and tailored to your workforce needs.
Vaccines prevent illness, hospitalisation, and death from diseases such as influenza, COVID-19, measles, and hepatitis. However, they must be stored, prepared, and administered correctly to remain effective.
Safe vaccine delivery requires trained staff who understand:
Our RCN-accredited immunisation and vaccination courses provide up-to-date, evidence-based education aligned with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England standards.
Vaccines contain a harmless form or component of a pathogen, such as an inactivated virus, a weakened strain, or a purified protein. These trigger the body’s immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells that “remember” the disease. If the person is later exposed to the infection, their immune system can respond rapidly, preventing illness or reducing severity. Some vaccines, such as MMR or HPV, provide long-term protection after a full course, while others like flu or COVID-19 require periodic boosters due to changing viral strains and waning immunity.
Even experienced healthcare professionals benefit from refresher training. Vaccine administration techniques, policies, and guidance evolve – and staying current ensures safe, high-quality care.
These courses are ideal for:
Whether you’re new to immunisation or seeking a refresher, our courses ensure you meet the national competence framework and are equipped to deliver safe, effective vaccination care.
All courses are delivered onsite for organisations (not open enrolment) and can be customised to meet your specific needs.
Our current training options include:
Each course runs over one or two days (typically 18–20 hours) to ensure comprehensive, hands-on learning and practice time.
Following completion, learners receive a competency proforma to evidence their knowledge and skills in practice.
This allows the Registered Provider or Clinical Manager to carry out workplace assessments, ensuring safe, evidence-based clinical practice and compliance with organisational policy.
We can also arrange onsite competency sign-offs by one of our Registered Nurse Trainers if required.
