Essential Skills Training


Providing training and qualifications in the South East since 2003


As a trained Registered Nurse for people with Learning Disabilities, Sara Canham has always had a passion for ensuring staff were trained to deliver a high quality service for those in need of care or support services.
 

This stemmed from supporting her Brother, who had a learning disability, and who she had helped to manage his personal assistants, as well as her Grandmother, who lived a number of years in a home for the elderly. 
 

She has over 10 years experience managing services herself, as well as 21 years developing & teaching staff across East Anglia & London.
