Carers in Cornwall can access the training for free, please contact us for a log-in code.

Unpaid carers can access our courses either as individuals, or with funding from their local authority or support organisation.

All a carer needs to do is visit our website www.promasonline.co.uk and follow simple step by step instructions. The first three courses for Caring for Carers are free for everyone, to help them understand how the courses work and how they might be helpful.

The next four courses can be accessed via a payment gateway, or by using a code provided to them by their local authority, care service or other support organisation. Once the carer has paid a small fee or used their code, they will be able to access all the courses for the following 12 months.
