Celebrating 8 years of Care Business Associate Training
This year, Care Business Associate Training proudly celebrates 8 years of delivering trusted, accredited training to health and social care providers across the UK.
From small beginnings, our mission has always been clear: to raise standards, empower care professionals, and transform workforce development across the sector.
From One-Man Band to National Training Provider
Care Business Associate Training was founded by Paul Blane, who began his career in health and social care at just 17 and became one of the UK’s youngest care managers by 21. Driven by a passion to improve training quality and workforce confidence, Paul grew CBAT from a one-man band into a national award winning training organisation with:
-
A dedicated head office team supporting operations nationwide
-
A network of over 340 expert freelance trainers
-
A portfolio of 100+ accredited courses covering compliance, clinical care, leadership, and workforce development
Today, CBAT works with leading care organisations including Priory, BUPA, In-Mind, Runwood, and Achieve Together.
CHAPs Training: Founder-Led Innovation
One of Paul’s most impactful achievements is the development of our highly regarded CHAPs training course.
CHAPs training bridges the gap between care assistants and nursing staff by equipping senior carers with advanced clinical and leadership skills, helping care homes improve efficiency, compliance, and care outcomes. Find out more.
