Programmes & Pricing

Clear, transparent pricing. Each programme is planned in advance with your service to ensure the right fit — for your team, your rota, and the people you support.

✓ Non-clinical in scope | ✓ occupational therapy degree-qualified design | ✓ HCPC-compliant titling | ✓ CPD certificates provided
How pricing works

Simple, consistent, transparent

One structure

The same clear pricing tiers apply to both programmes. No different rates, no hidden extras.

Three tiers

Priced by delegate number — 8, 12 or 16 — aligned with how activities are designed (small groups of 3–4).

No hidden fees

All materials, templates, certificates and the Quality Assurance review are included. The price you see is the price you pay.

Why three tiers?  All activities in both programmes are designed for small groups of 3–4 delegates. This means that for 9 delegates you would need at least 3 groups — which is why 12 delegates is a natural tier. For larger teams, 16 delegates gives you four groups of four. This keeps the learning practical, safe and genuinely participatory.
Programme 1
Core Programme

OT-Informed Functional Assessment Training

The foundation for safe, structured, non-clinical assessment of daily living.

Teaches homecare and supported living staff to complete a structured, non-clinical assessment of daily living using OT-informed thinking — without any clinical practice. The result: care plans grounded in what a person can actually do, notes that stand up to CQC scrutiny, and a team that understands independence-focused care from the inside.

What is included in every booking

  • Full-day delivery at your venue (6.5 hours contact time)
  • 7 modules covering all daily living domains
  • Assessment templates — professional version and client copy
  • Recording skills framework and plain-English language guide
  • Signposting framework for statutory and community services
  • Signed training register
  • Care Quality Commission (CQC) reference statement mapping training to quality statements

Reablement Principles & Practice Training

A complete, OT-informed reablement training day for consistent, independence-focused care.

Included in every booking

Post-training practice review

Training changes what your team knows. What happens on visits in the following weeks determines whether that knowledge becomes practice.

Every Occara booking includes a post-training practice review. After training, delegates submit real work from their visits. Occara reviews it and provides written feedback — specific, constructive, and returned within 7 working days. This is not a tick-box sign-off. It is expert eyes on real practice, early enough to correct habits before they form.
Assessment programme

  • ✓The first three completed assessments submitted per delegate
  • ✓All seven domains checked against the Occara standard

Reablement programme
What Occara reviews
  • ✓One reablement plan or goal per delegate
  • ✓One reablement-aligned daily note per delegate

  • ✓Written feedback to the delegate and the registered manager

Why the practice review matters to you as a provider
✓Demonstrates to the Care Quality Commission that training has changed practice, not just been attended
✓Your registered manager receives written evidence of individual delegate progress
✓Practice concerns identified early — before they become embedded in daily visits
✓A specialist point of contact in the weeks after training, not just on the day
Want ongoing oversight after the included review?
The monthly practice support retainer extends this to an ongoing arrangement — monthly document review, written feedback and a call with your registered manager. From £250 per month.

At your venue. Full day or split. CPD certificates and manager implementation guide within 48 hours.

Practice embedded

Quality Assurance review of first three assessments, optional retainer and accreditation pathway keep the approach consistent.

Training dates are arranged in advance. If you have a preferred month, it helps to get in touch early.
