Which type of Mandatory Training do I need?
Agencies and employers often insist that healthcare professionals complete CSTF Mandatory + Statutory Training. The content of this training course has been verified by Skills for Health as aligning to the UK Core Skills Training Framework.
You can still do the ‘All in One Day’ Mandatory Training, however, it is not framework aligned. We recommend that you talk to your employer about your options first.
