Beloved Homecare Becomes Approved Training Centre

Beloved Homecare has become approved to deliver professional care qualifications in partnership with NCFE Awarding Organisation.

This means Beloved Homecare will be training care staff, team leaders and care managers and awarding Level 2, Level 3 and Level 5 OfQual Regulated qualifications.

Unlike apprenticeships which are drawn out and require carers to complete maths and english as well as end point assessments, NVQ Diplomas are focused entirely on the competence of care. This allows carers to demonstrate the excellent work they do and achieve a recognised qualification for their skills, knowledge and experience.

The ability to offer formally recognised Diploma (NVQ in old money) means that our care teams will be able to demonstrate their client care, knowledge and professional competence through the most up-to-date learning.

Unlike many training providers, our assessment and verification team work in the health and social care sector today. We are practitioners in care as well as trainers.

Our Head of Training and Registered Manager for Care, Carl Mannion said “Beloved Homecare has a commitment to the professional development of our own staff and colleagues. We are excited to be training our leaders of the future as the service continues to grow and support clients across the North West and internationally in Europe, Middle East and Asia.”

Rachael Stokes, Director of Beloved Homecare said “Becoming a regulated training centre is a great addition to the talented pool of professional carers across Wirral. We look forward to providing NVQ Diploma qualifications on behalf of our partners and colleagues throughout the care network in Wirral.”

The first cohort of learners are due to start in July 2024 and an aim to complete their NVQ Diploma by March 2025.
