SETTING UP A CARE TRAINING AGENCY
While formal qualifications are not mandatory to start the business, it’s essential to have:
Experience in the health or social care sector
Accredited trainers (often Level 3 Education & Training or equivalent)
Policies for quality assurance, safeguarding, health and safety, and GDPR compliance
