Empowering Care Through Quality Training
At First Thought Care Training Ltd, we specialize in vocational training courses, providing regulated qualifications through esteemed awarding bodies like Highfields, ASDAN, and AQA.
Vocational Training Courses
ASDAN
ASDAN Short Courses are designed to foster skill development and personal growth alongside academic knowledge. These courses emphasize practical skills and personal attributes, such as employability and social skills, through a portfolio-based assessment process. Learners compile evidence to demonstrate their learning, which is then assessed, with a strong focus on experiential learning and the application of skills in real-world contexts. ASDAN Short Courses are highly flexible, allowing them to be tailored to individual learning needs and interests, making them suitable for a variety of educational settings. Upon completion, learners receive a certificate that recognizes their achievements in specific skill areas, although these certificates are not formal qualifications but rather acknowledgments of skill development.
AQA
The AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) offers a highly flexible and customizable approach to learning, allowing learners to gain recognition for completing individual units of study across various subjects. Unlike traditional qualifications, each unit is stand-alone, which means learners can accumulate achievements without needing to complete an entire course or program. This scheme is particularly beneficial for a wide range of learners, including those with specific learning needs or who thrive with smaller, incremental learning goals. Upon completing each unit, learners receive a certificate that acknowledges their achievement, providing continuous recognition of progress rather than a single final qualification. The units are typically short and focused, enabling a modular and adaptable approach to education.

Highfield
Highfield Regulated Qualifications are formal, accredited programs recognized by regulatory bodies such as Ofqual. These qualifications are structured to meet specific industry standards and are often necessary for professional roles, particularly in vocational areas like health and safety, first aid, and care services. Highfield qualifications involve formal assessments, which may include exams, practical assessments, or assignments, ensuring a rigorous and standardized learning experience. Completing a Highfield qualification leads to professional recognition and can open doors to further education or career advancement, as these qualifications are widely recognized and respected by employers and institutions. Unlike more flexible schemes, Highfield qualifications are geared toward equipping learners with the specific skills and knowledge required for employment in their chosen field.
