Care Qualifications

Care Practitioners;

Your Pathway to Success Starts Here

Are you ready to begin or grow your career in care? Whether you're just starting out or already working in the sector, a Care Diploma or Apprenticeship through The Skills Consortium offers the perfect opportunity to develop the skills, confidence, and qualifications you need to succeed all while continuing to earn and make a difference in people’s lives.

At The Skills Consortium, we do more than deliver training we support your long-term growth and career development. Our tutor-led, flexible programmes from Level 2 to Level 5 provide clear progression routes tailored to your goals.

We also offer one-to-one guidance from qualified careers advisers, who will help you map out your personal progression plan based on your ambitions, strengths, and experience. Whether you’re aiming to become a senior carer, team leader, or care manager, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

We offer both care apprenticeships and standalone diplomas, so that no care practitioner is left behind. If you don’t meet the eligibility criteria for an apprenticeship, we’ll still support you with alternative pathways to gain the qualifications you need. We believe no one in the care sector should be held back by funding rules or formal entry requirements and we’ll help you find a route that works for you.

Our ultimate goal? To empower you to grow professionally, confidently, and with purpose increasing not just your qualifications, but your social and professional mobility in the care sector.

“Growth doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when learning meets purpose.”
