care
BC Consultants offer a range of training solutions for individuals working within the Care Sector. This is an area of activity for which the Company has developed an excellent reputation for consistent quality, knowledge and expertise.
The expectations of people in care and their families are ever increasing and organisations and companies who provide this service for the elderly or for people with disabilities must be equipped to meet these demands. It is therefore essential that staff have the appropriate skills which are required when working with vulnerable people and more importantly that they are able to put these into practice in their care work.
Training is critical to the development of all care staff and will contribute substantially to the credentials of any organisation.
BC Consultants offer a range of training & development options, which are delivered in a flexible, customer-orientated manner within their own workplace. This includes:
Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). BC Consultants are fully approved by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) to offer Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) in Care and Promoting Independence in:
