CareTutor is an award winning social care eLearning platform launched in 2020 by BVS Training, which has over 25 years of experience in providing training for the care sector. We offer a go to destination for high-quality and engaging, video-based eLearning.

CareTutor was the 2024 winner of the Social Care Premier Supplier Award for Workforce Development. Our courses are rated at 9.2 out of 10 by learners from 1 Million+ course completions! Our partnership with the National Care Association (NCA) demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhancing training standards for care workers in the UK’s care sector.

CareTutor courses provide huge savings on staff training costs compared to other training providers due to annual skills assessments which can negate the need for annual re-training if not required.

Our courses are peer reviewed by highly respected organisations such as the Alzheimer’s society and S.C.I.E.(Social Care Institute for Excellence).The courses can be used for induction and refresher training, covering the full Care Certificate (or equivalent), mandatory subjects such as Emergency First Aid, and Moving and Assisting, and a number of conditions courses. CareTutor is CPD accredited and endorsed by Skills for Care and is also a Skills for Care Centre of Excellence.

All our courses are produced using elements of either live-action videos filmed with professional actors in real care settings or animated scenarios, increasing engagement and retention from our learners. We also recently launched our new "Pathway" Enterprise level Learning Management System, which is packed with features and fully customisable to essentially deliver your organisation its own managed eLearning portal! CareTutor has Induction and Refresher/Skills Assessment versions of all courses.

Refresher training can be avoided if annual skills assessments are passed creating huge time and cost savings on paying staff to complete refresher training courses if the knowledge has been retained and is not required.

CareTutor courses are highly visual and engaging ensuring retention rates are high and therefore retraining is required less frequently saving £££ on staff costs.
