The course will be specifically for your organisation and where possible, given enough notice we will tailor the course to meet any specific needs.

10 or 12 individuals to be trained at the same time; to combat this we offer open courses at our Bespoke Training suite in Wolverhampton. You are able to book training spaces individually, meaning your new starters can be trained quicker and more cost-effectively than putting on an organisational course that you cannot fill.

I was looking for a training provider who were able to facilitate training at short notice. Karisa was able to provide us with Medication and First Aid Training within a few days of me reaching out to them. Chris had put me into touch with Lesley who had organised the training. Lesley arrived on time, engaged with staff well and staff found the training informative. Lesley had gone above and beyond by sharing we could contact her if we ever needed further support or advice.

Thank You Karisa.

Kind Regards, SH, Registered Manager, Children's Home, Birmingham

Our Mission Our mission is simple, we want to upskill the workforce by providing training that is functional, engaging, and enjoyable for all participants.

By providing training that meets these criteria, the knowledge will be absorbed and retained better; meaning that the learner will be more efficient at their role which will lead to better productivity and outcomes.

Our Values Learners First – Our learners are at the heart of everything we do. We are constantly reviewing and updating our content based on feedback received to ensure our training is interactive and enjoyable.

Inclusive – Everybody should have access to quality training, no matter what needs they have. Our trainers can adapt any training session so that everyone can learn and participate in a safe environment while ensuring the learning outcomes are met.

Quality – All of our training Is mapped to level 3 standards and is created by individuals who have used the training functionally in previous roles. This means that the training has been created and delivered by trainers who have real-life experience in that course.

Adaptability – As an organisation we will always do everything in our power to facilitate your booking request but also adapt the course to your needs where it is possible and time allows.

Key Bios John Harper Managing Director Following a successful 25 years working in Retail with Next and Asda Walmart, I established a Nursing and Care Agency in 2011. Karisa now supplies quality staff to a variety of organisations across the Midlands and Shropshire. In 2016 we added Complesso to the group of companies, a care provider supporting the public sector. The quality of training is a vital element in the care sector and Karisa Training supports organisations to deliver high standards of care in the UK.

Chris Dawson Bookings and Partnership Manager For the last 30 years I have concentrated my career, whether it be with The Express & Star Newspapers, Yellow Pages and Yell or even with Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, on looking after Businesses, making sure you receive the service and support you require and deserve.

Coming from an Advertising and Sponsorship background I have looked after and supported Local and National organisations and have followed that through to the Health and Social Care sector giving that same support and service to Care Homes and Care Organisations, which has now doubled the amount of organisations we deal with in little over a year!

My Job is to listen to you, to find out exactly what you are looking for and to marry your needs with the support we can offer you. I am the link between our dozen trainers and those Care Homes and organisations to make sure your staff get the training they need to receive, and you deserve which means organisations will continue to reach out to us more, of which they have done.

Lesley Stone Health & Social Care Training Manager I began working within the Health and Social Care sector in 1991 working with children. In 1999 I moved on to working with adults. Throughout the years I have experience working in many different care settings including working within the NHS in multiple departments, including Accident & Emergency and in Medical Care settings.

With over 16 years of delivering Health and Social Care courses training with continuous CPD accreditation, I am fully qualified in training and assessing individuals and experienced in delivering training to an apprenticeship standard. This includes being a Moving & Handling practitioner and a specialist trainer in End of Life care.

What People Say About Karisa?

"Karisa Training have been amazing.

Their open course model is fantastic, we have been able to start staff quicker as we can slot them into singular spaces which has really escalated our growth.

Lesley is very knowledgeable, and all my staff have thoroughly enjoyed their sessions with her. The training sessions are well created, materials are great and always supportive of any specific requests."

KM (Registered Manager) Community Response Service "I was looking for a training provider who were able to facilitate training at short notice. Karisa was able to provide us with Medication and First Aid Training within a few days of me reaching out to them. I had contacted other training providers who were unable to accommodate our training. I had initially liaised with Chris; Chris had put me into touch with Lesley who had organised the training. Lesley arrived on time, engaged with staff well and staff found the training informative.

Lesley had gone above and beyond by sharing we could contact her if we ever needed further support or advice.

Thank You Karisa."

Kind Regards, SH, Registered Manager, Children's Home, Birmingham
