Overview of the Infection Control Train the Trainer

Infection control is one of the most important areas of practice in any health and social care setting and having a confident,developing trainer in-house makes all the difference to how well it is understood and applied in day to day care.

Our level 3 infection control train the trainer course is designed for care staff who want to become the go-to person for infection control training within their organisation and to upskill their in-house teams.

The level 3 train the trainer course goes beyond simply refreshing your own knowledge about infection control; it teaches you how to plan, deliver and assess infection control training courses confidently, so your care organisation always has an internal trainer to train teams instead of relying on external training providers.

During the course delegates will receive expert tuition from our team of experienced Trainers and every person attending will also be assessed in their own delivery by our team.

Why Care Workers Should Learn and Train Their Team on Infection Control
