The OTC’s degree level and professional development courses and programmes provide disability and social care professionals with the skills required to deliver effective person centred services. Their accredited certificate, degree and professional development courses and programmes provide people with the knowledge and skills required to manage effectively in a challenging environment. The Open Training College has spent over 30 years working as training experts. In that role they have combined extensive first-line experience with a detailed knowledge of the strategic and operational dynamics of the space.
Established by St. Michael’s House in 1992, the OTC’s philosophy is shaped by the demands of their sector and the needs of staff, students, client organisations and service users. They believe that everything they do has to make a difference. To achieve that, it:
• Must be sector-specific
• Has to be practical in every sense of that word
• Remain relevant and meet the highest possible standards of professional practice
• Reflect the realities of people’s lives
This commitment has driven their desire to create a community of learning and professional practice, one that focuses on the acquisition, dissemination and practical application of knowledge and expertise.
This approach – built on collaboration between the College, their students and the more than 230 organisations they work with – has created a unique environment in which people from the human services and non-profit sectors can learn and work together in ways that make a real difference to their service users. It has driven:
• Who they are
• Their relationship with students and the courses they provide
• The kind of consultancy services and partnerships the College have built up over the last 30 years.
