Our agency makes it easy to ensure your mandatory and specialist training with strategic partnerships with institutions for practical training. Additionally, our nurses have access to over 40 online training courses, which allows you to continually develop your career. 

By completing your training with us, and by updating your certification of completion with our team, you keep a strong record of your accomplishments. This is another way Ambition24hours helps you to efficiently submit your NMC revalidation.  

Together with the A24Group, we have negotiated reduced rates on training courses. These mandatory training courses are aligned to the UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF), which is required by most of our clients, and listed below for your perusal.

URGENT: To avoid delays in updating your compliance status, please register for these packages using the exact same email address linked to your Staffshift profile. Failure to do so will result in manual processing and potential delays in certificate uploads.

Mandatory Training Required for Nurses in the United Kingdom

Nurses and support workers are all required to complete life support, as well as moving and handling training as a basic compliance requirement. These are non-negotiable, as they are mostly included in our clients' requirements 

We can offer you a variety of packages, which include basic life support and moving and handling, which are both practical training courses which are required to practice as a nurse in the UK. So, register to work with us and sign up for the training. This will allow you to open new shift opportunities, and ultimately, higher pay rates per shift.
