Online training
Online training is primarily offered to carers who have complex placement commitments, work full time, or live outside of Camden and at a distance.
E-learning is also available to carers who have identified specific learning needs within their practice where suitable group training has not been available.
These courses complement face-to-face training and support carers to evidence their ongoing learning and development.
