WMCA and Realise Training announce an exciting new partnership



Introducing Realise: your partner for staff training in adult care


We are delighted to introduce you to our new partnership with Realise Training and are excited at the opportunities and benefits they will offer to our members. Read more about them below.


***************************************************************************



With the recent immigration white paper in the public eye, causing significant unrest and raising a pandora’s box of questions, one statement remains true; staff development isn’t a nice-to-have -it’s a necessity. 


Whether you’re delivering frontline care, managing teams, or planning long-term workforce strategy, the quality of your training provider can make or break your outcomes. That’s where Realise comes in.



For over 30 years, Realise has been one of the UK’s leading national training providers, working in partnership with health and social care organisations across England to deliver tailored, accredited training that works - for you, your staff, and your service users.



Tailored Training That Reflects Your Values and Vision


We know that no two care providers are the same. That’s why we don’t offer generic, off-the-shelf training. Instead, we take the time to understand your organisation’s vision, values, service model, and regional workforce challenges. 


Whether you’re a local independent care provider or a large regional organisation, our flexible and responsive approach means your teams get the skills they need - and your organisation sees real, measurable results.


Bringing Fully Funded Training to Members of the West Midlands Care Association


We’re proud to have partnered with the West Midlands Care Association (WMCA) - a strategic move to deepen our impact across the region. Through this partnership, we aim to support care providers in the West Midlands to access funding streams they may not even know existed, including the Learning and Development Support Services (LDSS) funding from the Department of Health and Social Care.


With trainers based throughout the West Midlands, we are ready and waiting to enhance your care provision with:


  • Access to flexible and fully funded training opportunities.
  • Strategies to retain and upskill your existing talent.
  • CQC compliance through high-quality, targeted training.


This partnership represents our ongoing commitment to being more than a training provider - we’re a partner invested in the success of your organisation. It is through our new partnership with WMCA that we wish to double down on that commitment.

A Full Suite of Accredited Training Programmes


We offer a range of funded and commercial training courses for care providers across the Midlands, including:


  • Apprenticeships (Level 2 to Level 5 in Adult Care)
  • Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care
  • Short Courses in Adult Care
  • Business Skills i.e. Business Administration, Customer Service


We provide expert training, with curriculum aligned to your specific development pathways including:


  1. Dementia Care Services
  2. Mental Health Services
  3. Community Care Services
  4. Treatment and Recovery Care Services
  5. Elderly Residential Care Services

Proven Excellence in Training


We’re Ofsted-rated ‘Good’, Quality Assured Care Learning Services (QACLS)-approved, and already trusted by care providers across England to deliver learning that makes a real difference.
