Leaders in Adult Care’ Apprenticeship


Starting in November of this year, we have a new cohort of the Level 5 ‘Leaders in Adult Care’ Apprenticeship. This apprenticeship is a fabulous opportunity for potential leaders and managers in the caring fields.

It will help them build skills and knowledge whilst gaining confidence and a level 5 nationally recognised qualification.

The Apprenticeship will support learners to manage and inspire care teams to make a positive impact on those with physical, practical, or psychological challenges. The programme runs for 18-24 months, and funding is available through the apprenticeship levy. Over the course of the apprenticeship, a blended approach to teaching is applied to ensure candidates’ location does not prohibit them from taking part in the programme. This will still include regular teaching sessions carried out via online meetings with the Workshop Leader and fellow apprentices, as well as in-person meetings with a named assessor who will carry out observations in the candidate’s area. Following the completion of the apprenticeship, candidates receive a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care. If you are interested in becoming a Leader in Adult Care and changing the lives of others for the better, then contact Varsity Training via our website, or by emailing enquiries@varsitytraining.co.uk. #healthandsocialcare #apprenticeships

New Apprenticeship Starts


In November, this year we have a new run of one of our most popular Level 5 Diplomas starting:  The Healthcare Assistant Practitioner.  This diploma is set at level 5 and is the HE Diploma, 120 credit version.

This means it can meet the entry requirements to ongoing degree level programmes, such as Adult Nursing, AHP pathways and so on, but for most of our learners, this Level 5 qualification often just enables them to develop confidence, skills and knowledge within Healthcare, facilitates progression and promotion within their current organisation or even edges them towards the job they have always wanted!

We have learners working in private nursing homes, GP surgeries, Physio, OT teams and therapy teams, Hospitals, Reablement, End-of-life, Mental health and Learning difficulties teams – and so on!

This is our ‘Flagship’ programme and almost all of our learners have progressed in their careers, achieved new job roles, gained Band 4 posts within the NHS and have also gone on to Adult Nurse training, many APL’ing into the second year of the degree, others have gone on to further Apprenticeships and other degrees.

This highly valued qualification can be an absolute springboard to your next step.  Also, hopefully enjoyable and interesting too!

If you feel that this diploma is right for you, or your employees, then please get in touch to discuss in more detail.  Maybe you already work with an employer that we deliver this programme with?  Again, contact us and we can pass your details to the appropriate training department.
