One provider, one training calendar
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is our specialism, but most settings need to refresh several courses in the same year. Rather than juggling three providers and three invoices, we can cover the rest of your training calendar too — usually with fewer disrupted shifts and a lower cost per delegate.
Below is what we deliver. If what you need is not listed, ask: our experience across health and social care, education and early years means we can usually build it.

Bespoke training built around your setting
Due to our vast experience and understanding, we can also provide any specific bespoke training requirement you may have. If your service has a need that no off-the-shelf course covers — a particular resident group, a recent inspection finding, a policy change your team needs to understand properly — tell us and we will design and deliver it.
Bundle courses, keep costs down
Booking several courses together reduces travel costs and paperwork, and lets us plan a training calendar around your rota rather than piecemeal. Tell us everything you need for the year and we will put a single plan and quotation together.
Registered charities are offered heavily reduced rates across all our courses, not only the Oliver McGowan training.
