Course Duration

The length of our complex care training courses varies from module to module; if you’re interested in learning more about a particular course’s duration, feel free to get in touch with us and let us know which courses you’re considering. Whenever and wherever it’s most convenient for you, we’ll bring you the courses you need.

Assessment and Certification

The course process is made up of case studies, practise scenarios, OSCEs, and filling out workbooks. After our training course is over, Upsky Training will give the registered provider the necessary competency proformas to ensure safe and evidence-based clinical practise. This will allow the registered provider to make sure that mandatory competency assessments are done in the workplace by a designated mentor/supervisor. Contact us if you want more information about competency assessments or if you want one of our specialist registered nurse trainers to do an on-site competency assessment for you. We’ll be happy to help.
