Delivering the highest possible care standards for dementia patients / service users takes a very specific skill set and a deeper understanding of the condition itself – precisely what our Dementia Awareness Training course has been designed to begin building.
The mechanics and intricacies of dementia are immensely complicated – our course serves as an important introduction to the subject covering symptoms, causes and how to effectively approach, work with and care for those suffering from the various stages of dementia. Any individual who may come into contact with dementia patients / service users during their working lives could benefit enormously from this course. By shedding essential light on exactly what dementia is and how it effects the lives of those it effects and their loved ones, the course better-enables carers and other professionals to deliver a much higher standard of genuinely productive and empathetic care.
For delegates looking to further enhance their understanding and competencies, we also offer a nationally accredited qualification entitled the Level 2 Award in Dementia Awareness RQF (QCF) or the Level 2 Award in Dementia Care. Please get in touch with the team to discuss your specific needs and the level of training required.

Our Communication Skills Training course brings to life a world of theory, having been built largely around interactive practical teaching methods. Entertaining and engaging, the various forms of communication.
This course helps communicate both the fundamentals and the importance of PCP for anyone working in a learning disability setting, covering the use of important tools like MAPS and PATH along with the ethos that forms the basis of PCP as a principle.
There are over a million people living with dementia in the UK, with that number increasing each year. People with dementia may require regular visits from a nurse or carer, and in many cases, they move into a dementia care home or unit for access to around-the-clock care and support.
This training course helps delegates understand Hoarding and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), work in a sympathetic way with people living with the condition and ensure safety and minimising of risk when entering a cluttered environment.
