Why a structured 12-month programme?

Prevents overwhelm

Instead of receiving everything at once, you get exactly what you need, when you need it. Each month builds on the last, creating manageable progress.

Time to embed practice

Learning theory isn't enough — you need time to apply it. Our phased approach lets you implement, practice, and refine before moving forward.

Builds lasting confidence

By month 12, you've lived in your role long enough to demonstrate consistency and genuine understanding — exactly what inspectors look for.

Responsive to your reality

Monthly check-ins mean we can adjust the programme based on your progress, service changes, or unexpected challenges as they arise.
