About Care Skills Training UK
Care Skills Training UK is an Ilford-based provider of CPD-accredited health and social care training courses, serving care homes, NHS trusts, domiciliary care providers and supported living services across London, Essex and the wider UK.
Since 2018, we have delivered practical, compliance-ready training to over 10,000 healthcare workers. Every course we offer is CQC-aligned, CPD-certified and led by trainers with genuine frontline experience — not classroom theory alone.
Our Story
Transforming Healthcare Training in the UK Since 2018
Care Skills Training UK was founded with a clear purpose: to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in health and social care training. We recognised that care workers and managers needed accessible, high-quality courses that fit demanding shift patterns and compliance timelines — so we built a learning model that combines flexible online training with hands-on face-to-face delivery.
Our Growth Journey
Our Mission
To provide outstanding healthcare training that empowers individuals and organisations to achieve excellence in the health and social care sector through practical, expert-led learning that is immediately applicable in real care environments.
Our Vision
To be the UK’s most trusted provider of CPD-accredited health and social care training, recognised for the quality of our trainers, the relevance of our programmes, and our commitment to raising care standards nationwide.
