Reviews, in their own words
What learners say about our private paid courses.
I completed the Level 5 Health & Social Care course at Rutledge Training while working full-time in care. The support from the tutors was excellent and the course gave me the confidence to progress into a senior role. The flexible learning made it manageable around my shifts and family life.

“The Childcare course was really practical and helped me understand how to support children's development in a real working environment. I enjoyed the mix of online learning and tutor support. I now work in a daycare setting and feel much more confident in my role.”
Chloe D. · Childcare
“I returned to education after many years and was nervous about starting the Level 5 qualification. The team at Rutledge Training made the whole experience supportive and professional from start to finish. I have since been promoted within my workplace.”
Michelle K. · Level 5 Health & Social Care
“The tutors were approachable, knowledgeable and always available when I needed help. The Health & Social Care Level 5 course gave me a deeper understanding of leadership, safeguarding and person-centred care. I would highly recommend Rutledge to anyone already working in care.”
James T. · Level 5 Health & Social Care
“I completed the Childcare qualification privately through Rutledge and loved the flexibility of studying around my own schedule. The course content was engaging and relevant to my role in a preschool environment.”
