An Agincare training company specialising in social care, education and business apprenticeships has been rated Good by Ofsted.

The Training Now team celebrated after being rated Good in all categories following an inspection in September.

Managing director Tara Roudiani has overhauled the framework of Training Now from the ground up since her appointment in December 2021.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have achieved a Good rating in all categories. The impact of our training on our apprentices’ working practices has been incredible,” Roudiani said.

“The fact that inspectors told us that our apprentices display compassion and the practical skills needed for a successful career in care is very rewarding to the team.

“This is such an exciting time for Training Now, we are focussing on widening our apprenticeship provision so that more people have access to really good training in health and social care.”

Agincare group chief executive Raina Summerson added: “I’d like to thank our brilliant team and board for all the hard the work they have put in. We are proud to have hundreds of apprentices building a rewarding career with great progression opportunities at Agincare, and Training Now is absolutely central to that success. 

“The recruitment and retention of a skilled workforce in adult social care has never been as important or pressing. Training Now plays a leading role in producing care workers and leaders of the future, not only at Agincare but for all the other care providers it works with.”

As well as apprenticeships, Training Now offers a wide range of short courses, CPD programmes and qualifications covering the health and social care sector.
