CPD-Accredited Care Staff Training - Practical, Up-to-Date, Delivered by Experts

Good care staff training, aligned with Skills for Care standards, is not a tick-box exercise. Quality care staff training is the foundation of safe, high-quality care. At Pin Point, we deliver a comprehensive in-house training programme that combines practical classroom teaching with current legislation, best practice and real-world experience.

As well as providing free training to all our registered candidates, we offer our full training programme to external care providers - giving care homes, supported living services, children's residential homes and NHS settings access to high-quality CPD-accredited training without the cost of building it in-house.

  • Experienced trainers with genuine healthcare backgrounds - not just training theory
  • Training aligned with current CQC expectations and legislation
  • Practical, engaging sessions that staff actually benefit from
  • Flexible scheduling to suit your service
