3Spirit Training is a Skills for Care Centre of Excellence, established in 2012, which solely specialises in supporting the Care sector through the provision of apprenticeship, training, consultancy and recruitment services.
We pride ourselves on building strong partnerships with our clients with the aim of becoming a strategic and supportive resource to their organisation, always on hand to help reduce the key staffing and development pressures Care managers and leaders face daily.
Georgia Whitehouse, Head of Partnerships at 3Spirit Training says:
“What really sets us apart as a training provider is our dedication and passion for helping address the challenges in Care, alongside the fact our services are designed and delivered by experienced Care professionals.
My role is to work closely with Care professionals, managers and leaders who are passionate about making a difference in Care and increasing quality standards; we aim to ease the burden and deliver a seamless and supportive environment for staff training and development.”
Given the cost pressures that our industry faces, we always try to keep on the pulse of new funding available and bid for local funding pots that can complement our Level 2 - Level 5 Adult Care apprenticeships whilst making training more accessible for our clients.
With this, we are excited to announce that 3Spirit has been able to secure Adult Education Budget (AEB) funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority, primarily for fully funded Level 3 and Level 2 Adult Social Care Diplomas. Whilst the funding is limited, we currently have capacity for new Level 3 Diploma learner enrolments up to the end of November, and will be able to enrol Level 2 Diplomas until December (potentially into January) for any Care organisation based in the West Midlands region.
Unlike apprenticeships, there are no Functional Skills requirements and no Levy contributions - everything is fully funded with no payment reclaims! As such, if you are interested in taking advantage of the opportunity, we recommend getting in touch and registering your interest at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment (just under half of the funding has been secured since launching 2 weeks ago).
Once enrolled, our Level 3 Adult Care Diploma takes 6-8 months to complete whilst the Level 2 Adult Care Diploma can be completed in 4-6 months, so it is a fantastic opportunity to fast-track qualifications for both existing and new staff members.
Georgia adds:
“Each of the programmes we offer at 3Spirit are designed to provide all learners with a highly supportive and sector specific training programme which is focused on building the requisite skills to meet the demands of the role, as opposed to ticking boxes to achieve the qualification. That being said, we’re extremely proud of our official QAR (for Level 2- Level 5 apprenticeship qualifications) standing at 69.23% which firmly puts us in the highest bracket for apprenticeship providers in Care!”
