Everything Your Team Needs to Excel

Structured learning pathways from first-day induction through to advanced care management, all aligned to UK regulatory standards.

Every programme is mapped to the CQC framework and underpinned by Regulation 18 (Staffing) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, which requires care staff to be trained, supported and competent for their role. This training builds and refreshes the underpinning knowledge. Competence itself is confirmed through supervision and hands-on assessment in the workplace, and Pearl Care records that evidence alongside the learning.

Built for Care Providers Across the UK

Pearl Care Training Academy was founded by Shaun Dias, who runs a care business and built it after seeing, through his own grandmother's experience, the gap between training that ticks a box and care that genuinely changes lives.

We combine real care-sector experience with AI-powered learning to deliver a platform that is as practical on the floor as it is dependable when the inspector calls.

Our curriculum is written and reviewed against current sector standards, and built around the realities of residential care, domiciliary care and supported living.
