This Autumn the UK will be administering 30 million+ flu vaccinations. That number will double again if a vaccine is found for COVID-19 - The need for healthcare professionals with up to date Vaccinantion + Immunisation skills is set to rise exponentially!
How does it work?
Day 1 - Theory
This is the theory section of your training. You can choose to do this online in the comfort of your own home, OR at our training centre in a classroom setting. We will send you the E-Learning modules as soon as you complete your booking. If you don't want to do your theory online, or can't find the time to do it, then you can simply attend Day 1 at our training centre.
Either way, your theory section must be completed before attending Day 2 - the practical section of your course.
Day 2 - Practical
Your practical training and assessment must be conducted in a classroom setting. You must attend this practical day to complete your training and gain your certificate.
Vaccinations are given by healthcare professionals working within a variety of backgrounds, settings, and services. To increase public confidence and maintain high vaccination acceptance, those who advise on or administer vaccinations must be confident, knowledgeable, and up to date in their practice.
