  Perfectly paced training. Very easy to understand and very good resources. We were able to try practical skills with dummies. Everything taught was explained clearly and I was not felt that I could not ask questions. I feel so much more confident now that I could manage and assist with equipment and emergency situations. What a lovely, calm approachable lady Corine is. Thank you so much. (Chailey Heritage Foundation, East Sussex, October 2018)

• Sophie | Carer of a PHB holder in Coventry June 2019

  Great trainer and lots of information given. I enjoyed it a lot better than E-learning. Thank you taking your time out to come to us.

• Carer of a PHB | Coventry, June 2019

  Corine delivered training to a group of 6 of us and the training was of a very high standard. Corine ‘s knowledge is very good. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and felt comfortable throughout the session and I feel I learnt a lot from her today.

• Debra | Lead Carer PHB holder, Coventry June 2019

  Today we met Corine to deliver my bowel care and competency training. I found this lady very professional and methods were outstanding. Corine explained all training very well. Would like to do more training with her in the future. 5 STARS!!!

• Carer of a PHB holder | Torbay area, May 2019

  Your training was brilliant, and I felt comfortable to ask questions and to try the equipment to build my confidence. I would recommend your training to my colleagues.

• Jane T | Maidscare, Torquay, 29 March 2019)

  It was a pleasure to meet with you too. The training was superb & so lovely to have it taylor made. 

• Maggie M | carer at a PHB package, Somerset, September 2018

  I feel the training I received has been thorough and enhanced. I have gained a lot of confidence through the training and would highly recommend this training to other carers when they need it. If I was offered E-learning or classroom training I would certainly use classroom because it is face to face and I learn much better that way. I will be looking forward to the refresher training in a years’ time. Many thanks Corine!

• Charlie T. | Chailey Heritage Foundation, East Sussex, March 2018

   After being on this training course I now feel a lot more confident with what I am doing as it was explained very well. Using a variety of teaching methods which suited everyone in the training. I had also never seen a single trainer provider using so much of their own equipment to enable practicals and using the actual equipment so that the training was a realistic as possible. That helped with the confidence as well. The trainer was also very approachable and made sure that you understood everything and really made the 3 training days enjoyable and engaging which I’ve not had with training in the past. I am looking forward to any future training days that you hold. Thank you Corine!!!
