Edgeworks launches online Learning Disability Qualification-Induction Award (LDQ-IA)

We are pleased to announce the launch of our online Learning Disability Qualification-Induction Award (LDQ-IA).

Available via Care Academy, this programme has been launched in conjunction with guidance from Skills for Care and City & Guilds and is the new developed learning programme, from what had previously been identified as the Learning Disability Award Framework (LDAF).

This training programme is up to date with current guidelines for all new starters in Learning Disability Service; who are expected to undertake this qualification, regardless of NVQ achievement.

This training programme offers great benefits and we feel that our online approach offers learners something individual in its educational flexibility and geographical coverage. For more information feel free to call Paul Allman on 0161 228 1712 or take a look at our website to discover these benefits for yourself or request a demo.
