The Skills for Care management training courses don’t have an associated level. They are for anyone who would like to develop their leadership skills.

Currently we deliver all of our courses virtually. However, for large organisations with training requirements for multiple staff, we can deliver our leadership programmes on-site.

If you miss a module, you will need to pay to take that individual module again. We don’t offer refunds for any places booked on programmes or modules.

If you’re unable to attend the programme you have booked, we will offer an alternative programme to join.

No, it’s best practice to have completed the Lead to Succeed programme but it’s not a requirement.
