NVQ’s and City & Guides Qualifications

All of our carers have or they are working towards NVQ level 2 or level 3 qualifications in care. Our NVQ’s are carried out and assessed in parthership with Macclesfield College.

We encourage all of our carers to persue further development and training to enhance their skills and further their education.

NVQ’s are a mixure of pratical assessments and evidence based work programs.
