Creative Academy is the Learning & Development department of Creative Support Ltd. Creative Support is a not-for-profit organisation promoting the independence, inclusion and wellbeing of people with care and support needs.

Creative Academy holds several nationally recognised standards of excellence and have created a positive learning culture within our organisation. As a result, we have an excellent track record in developing our people through to high-level academic achievement. We offer a range of training opportunities to enable our staff to reach their full potential, whatever their role within the organisation, ensuring dignity, respect and compassion for all is at the heart of everything we do.

We are an Investors in People Platinum status department and an approved centre for RSPH (Royal Society for Public Health), Highfield Qualifications and Training Qualifications UK. Our programmes are developed in line with nationally recognised frameworks.

We have trainers based across the UK, all of whom are experts in each of their teaching subjects; a team of specialist knowledge practitioners within health & social care, education and nursing. Our courses are taught by trainers with extensive experience working at senior or managerial level, and practical training is delivered by those with substantial clinical experience.

Our trainers all have teaching qualifications, beginning at AET/PTLLS up to PGCE level. Using a diverse range of teaching methodologies they can cater to differing learning styles and are experts in supporting learners with specific needs.

We conduct regular OTLs (Observations of Teaching & Learning) at a minimum of once per year. This is just part of our continuous process of improving standards of teaching and learning.
