Qualification Funding Support
ARC is a Lead Partner for three regions accessing funding from Skills for Care’s Workforce Development Funding (WDF) for completing qualifications in Adult Health and Social Care.
Through this funding Health and Social Care providers can make a claim towards the costs of NVQ and QCF units. The funding is paid after units have been achieved.
