Do you offer any training to support our in-house team of Workplace Cavendish Care Assessors?From 2015, employers must appoint “workplace assessors” to support the assessment of the Cavendish Care Certificate in the workplace following our delivery of the training course. Accordingly, it is a requirement that all workplace Cavendish Care Certificate assessors are knowledgeable about the standards being assessed and be occupational competent. To ensure that your Cavendish Care assessors have the correct knowledge and understanding we are able to offer comprehensive Cavendish Care Certificate Assessor training courses to up-skill your local training team or senior staff that will be observing your employees within the workplace.
