Healthcare training in Cardiff
Our classroom courses run at Radnor Court on Cowbridge Road East in Canton, a short trip from Cardiff city centre. Sessions take up to 12 learners, so there is time for practice and questions, and every learner gets an electronic and printed certificate.
Courses run from half a day to three days. Care workers can join a classroom session on their own, and care homes, domiciliary care agencies, supported living services and NHS teams can book a whole group in Cardiff or on site.
On site across South Wales and beyond
Our trainers also come to you, delivering the same accredited courses at your own venue anywhere in Wales. That suits teams who need training around rotas, or practical courses such as Manual Handling and PMVA in the setting where staff actually work.
