Astor Care
Astor Care and Nursing Agency (Training Services)
We are an independent local family owned business established in Surrey for over 20 years. As a highly respected care provider ourselves (rated 3 stars by CQC at last inspection), we fully appreciate the training needs of care staff and the importance of a competent, skilled workforce in meeting CQC requirements.
It was demand from local care providers to access the exceptional training provided to our own staff, that lead to Astor Agency not only offering places on our monthly in-house mandatory courses, but also delivering training at other venues throughout Surrey.
Astor Agency offer quality training which is great value for money. Our courses are constantly updated to reflect best practice and changes in legislation.
