Frequently Asked Questions

Is Strategic Thinking an online care training provider or a care compliance platform?

Strategic Thinking is more than an online care training provider. Our all-in-one platform combines CPD accredited online training courses with a range of compliance tools, including a policy suite, management reporting, training matrix reporting, audits and observation tools, a staff wellbeing portal and rota management.

Our platform is designed to streamline and simplify compliance processes across your organisation, helping you manage staff training, reporting, policies and wider compliance activity more efficiently from one central platform.

Do you provide region-specific care training for England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland?

Yes! All our courses and library documents are region-specific, with content for England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This helps care providers access training and resources that reflect the legislation, guidance and regulatory environment relevant to their location, rather than relying on generic, one-size-fits-all content.

Where appropriate, content is aligned with the requirements and guidance associated with regulators including the CQC in England, Care Inspectorate in Scotland, Care Inspectorate Wales, RQIA in Northern Ireland and HIQA in Ireland.

Can I transfer existing staff training records and certificates to Strategic Thinking?

Yes! Moving your existing staff training records to Strategic Thinking is easier than you might think. We work alongside your team to transfer your training history, including completed courses, training certificates and compliance records, so nothing gets left behind. Your reporting continues without a gap, and there’s very little for your team to do – we do the heavy lifting to make the transition as smooth and straightforward as possible.

Are Strategic Thinking’s online training courses CPD accredited?

Yes, all of our training courses we offer are CPD accredited so your staff are not just ticking a compliance box to meet requirements. Each course supports your staff’s ongoing learning and professional development, helping care teams build their knowledge and skills while keeping essential training up to date.

Can we upload our own policies and documents to the platform?

Yes, you can upload your own company policies and documents directly to the Strategic Thinking platform, including staff handbooks, meeting minutes and induction materials. You decide what’s shared with your team, and specific files can be restricted where you need additional control over access.

Can we create our own custom training courses on the platform?

Yes! If there’s something specific to your organisation that isn’t already covered in our existing course library, our Course Creator allows you to create your own custom online training courses directly on the platform. These can sit alongside our CPD-accredited training content, giving you one place to manage both standard and organisation-specific learning.

Can managers track staff training compliance and run reports for inspections?

Yes, managers can use Strategic Thinking’s training matrix and reporting dashboard to see a clear view of which training each team member has completed, what is outstanding and where there are gaps in compliance. You can quickly access staff training compliance records and reports in one place, helping make inspection preparation much easier without having to pull everything together at the last minute.

Can staff complete training courses on their phone, tablet or home PC?

Yes! All of our courses are fully accessible on mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers, giving staff the flexibility to complete their training anytime, anywhere and on the device that works best for them.

What ongoing support is included with Strategic Thinking's online training and compliance platform?

We stick around. Our team provides comprehensive, ongoing support to help you get the most from the Strategic Thinking platform. This includes onsite visits for hands-on assistance, remote training sessions via Teams, telephone support for immediate assistance and access to a 24-hour support centre for your team. Signing up isn’t where the relationship ends – we’re here to support you as your training and compliance needs develop.

How long does it take to set up the Strategic Thinking online training platform?

Quicker than you might think. Once we have your staff details and, if needed, have arranged the transfer of any existing training records, our team will support you through the setup process and help get everyone up and running as smoothly as possible. You won’t be left to figure things out on your own either – we’re on hand throughout to make the move to the Strategic Thinking online training platform as straightforward as possible.

How many staff can attend an onsite care training session?

Each onsite training session is tailored to the needs of your organisation. However, to ensure all staff members get the most from the training, we recommend a maximum of 15 participants per session. This helps keep sessions practical, engaging and gives everyone the opportunity to take part.

Where does Strategic Thinking provide onsite care training in the UK and Ireland?

We deliver onsite training across Scotland, Northern England, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with sessions arranged around your team’s location and availability. Get in touch with our team to check available dates and onsite training options in your area.

Will onsite training be added to our online training records?

Yes! If you’re already using the Strategic Thinking online training platform, our trainers update your records after each onsite training session. Attendance and course completion are recorded directly on the platform, giving you an up-to-date record of who’s been trained without having to log everything yourself. It means less paperwork for your team and all your training records kept together in one place.

Is Strategic Thinking's onsite training accredited?

Accreditation and recognition vary depending on the onsite training course being delivered. Strategic Thinking is a registered FAIB First Aid Training Provider and a registered training-provider member of the Association of Healthcare Trainers (AoHT). Get in touch with our team to speak about the specific accreditation or certification available for the onsite course you are interested in.

How do I book onsite training for my team?

To book onsite care training with Strategic Thinking, contact our team with the course or training topics you’re interested in, the approximate number of staff attending and your location. We’ll discuss your requirements and help arrange a suitable date for training at your premises that works for your team.

Harry was extraordinary as our trainer, had a really good first aid training day. He provides information with very good explanation. I have learned from this first aid training lots of new things and I am now more confident.
Lucy has been the most engaging trainer I have had since I started working in the healthcare sector 25 years ago. She has great rapport with the trainees and is fantastic at disseminating the information required. I thoroughly enjoyed my training with her 😊

Lucie was fantastic! The best first aid training I have received in the 10years I have worked in care; she was patient, clear and allowed plenty of time for questions and discussion. Honestly one of the best trainers we have had in, and she made the sessions easy to listen and learn too.

Loved Lucie's way of teaching! She had the whole group engaged from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being taught First Aid and we completed the Fire Marshall training. Lucie made things specific to our care home and didn't just reel off facts and statistics. She used football and some scenarios from her family life to make things relatable. A true asset to the Strategic Thinking team 🥰
