Who is it for?

There are over six million carers in the UK today and this number is expected to increase by 60% in the next 30 years. Research shows that training and employment are important matters for a large number of carers.

Like any other group of people, carers have different backgrounds and a range of training and skills needs. But whatever your background, you can benefit from the Learning for Living programme. It could help you to refresh or update your existing knowledge and skills, or to develop completely new areas.

The programme is designed to develop learning at a level similar to (but much smaller than) S/NVQ level 2 or GCSE and the appropriate levels of knowledge, reading and writing skills in English will be required.
