About us
AVC Training aims to provide its learners the opportunity to train in peaceful, natural surroundings, set in the heart of the Fenland countryside within easy reach of Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and Cambridge.
We offer mandatory and specialist courses for Health and Social care which are reviewed by our rigorous quality assurance team and are updated regularly.
We will endeavour, wherever possible, to tailor your learning experience to your own operating environments and our staff are happy to discuss individual training requirements.
We run courses throughout the year, so whether you require a single course for an individual or a full range of courses to complete mandatory training for large numbers of staff AVC Training can help.
Set in seven stunning acres in rural Cambridgeshire, Askham Village Community is a group of five specialist care homes with on-site services and amenities that are designed to make the whole place feel like a small, friendly village in which to live.
AVC Training adheres to the five principles that Askham Village Community prides:
- We are a community: We value each other and we all have a responsibility to look out for each other’s safety and well being
- We believe in empowerment: We recognise that we all have a positive contribution to make and encourage each other to reach their full potential through a full and active life
- We respect each other: We acknowledge that we all have our own personal, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs; and that these may vary over time
- We prioritise personal dignity: We do not compromise on an individual’s right to live a dignified life of enjoyment, self determination; recognising their need for privacy and choice
- We value quality: We provide for more than the basic needs; with attention to detail in all aspects of life at Askham
