Evidence your inspector can rely on
CQC-registered providers must be able to show that staff receive the training their roles require. A certificate alone rarely tells the whole story — inspectors also look at training records, refresher cycles and how learning shows up in practice.

Answers before you ask
Do you offer online, face-to-face or blended training?
Both. We can run sessions at your own venue, at our academy training room, or as live online interactive webinars where the course format allows. Oliver McGowan Tier 2 is a full-day face-to-face workshop; Tier 1 is delivered as a live online interactive session.
Can you provide training at our location?
Yes. Most of our group bookings are delivered at the care provider's own venue. Tell us your location and team size in the enquiry form and we will confirm arrangements with you.
How do certificates and records work?
Every delegate who completes their course receives a certificate of completion containing a unique registration number, and we provide attendance records to keep your training matrix ready for inspection evidence.
