eTraining can help you gain access to the Workforce Development Fund (WDF) which is additional funding from the Department of Health and managed by Skills for Care.
This fund is specifically for improving Adult Social Care across England by helping to cover costs associated with training so that the existing workforce can be developed and new staff can be recruited and trained.
The WDF funding is equivalent to £15 per QCF credit, with a maximum of 60 credits per learner per funding year. What you can claim back will be dependent on the qualification taken, the units selected and how many credits over all will be completed.
Level 4 Diploma in Adult Care (minimum 70 credits) – up to £1050
