Whether you’re preparing for your first inspection or trying to improve your CQC rating, we have a range of resources to help you meet and exceed CQC expectations.
Skills for Care has designed a range of eLearning modules to help you understand what is expected of your service and how you can best evidence these expectations.
Each module is aimed at managers and quality and compliance leads, although anyone involved in CQC inspection can complete the module. You will be awarded a certificate upon completion. All of our content is based on successful practice from real organisations.
The content of these eLearning modules have also been updated to align with the new CQC Single Assessment Framework
Our eLearning offer currently consists of the following one-hour modules:
If you’re a new service or new manager it’s vital you are prepared for your first CQC inspection. This module is also useful to introduce other staff at your service to the CQC inspection process.
Being prepared for CQC inspection covers:
- why inspection is important
- what and how will the CQC inspect
- what does good and outstanding care look like
- who can help you prepare for inspection
- how to evidence you are meeting CQC expectations.
The module is fantastic and easy to use. It has helped me already. It’s very welcome at a time where focussing on this important area has been difficult. I have not found it easy obtaining quality advice in this area. I know I can trust Skills for Care. It has helped me to be clearer about how to prepare for inspection.

Improving your CQC rating covers:
- the impact of falling below CQC standards
- how to identify and prioritise areas for improvement
- involving others in helping you to improve

Great course, it really highlighted some of the things I already knew but didn’t quite grasp. I learnt how to look at the improvements needed and manage them in an effective and efficient way.

This was extremely useful, for me as a new manager to look at what we do now and what we could be doing. It was reassuring to see actually how much of this I was already doing, so that made me feel confident, and it gave me inspiration for continuous improvement.
