CQC-Compliant Health, Social Care & Workplace Training.

Fully certificated mandatory care courses, specialised complex clinical skills, and essential workplace safety. Delivered face-to-face by expert instructors at our Stockport training suite or on-site across Greater Manchester and the North West.

We provide training for:

Care Homes and Home Care Providers

Whether you’re based in a care home or provide exceptional care to patients within their own spaces, we offer courses to support a wide range of roles including complex and clinical skills.

From manual handling techniques to specialist dementia care training, we deliver the knowledge and skills your team needs to provide the best care.

We also offer flexible group training, either at our Stockport Training Centre or a location of your choice, so your whole team can learn together, when and where it suits you.

 

Personal Health Budgets (PHB Holders)

We partner directly with PHB holders, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), and User-Led Organisations. We equip Personal Assistants (PAs) and family members with the clinical competencies and mandatory skills required to safely care for loved ones at home.

 

Local Councils, Authority Services and the NHS

We partner with councils to empower their health and social care workforce, ensuring they have the skills and competencies needed to deliver exceptional care. By working in collaboration with you (see our Trafford Council case study here), we design bespoke courses that focus on everything from management to medical skills.

 

 


Schools, Offices and Regulated Sectors

We provide HSE-compliant, essential workplace training for nurseries, schools, academies, corporate offices, construction firms, and retail. From Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work to Fire Warden training, we keep your organisation safe, legally compliant, and prepared.


Our Training Courses

Our courses ensure your staff are up to date with legislation, regulation, best practice and ethics giving them the knowledge and confidence essential to their role. At Abuka we make training both fun and memorable giving your staff an experience they want to repeat.
