As one of the first training academies to offer a portfolio of bespoke qualifications, MATA founder and director, Mr Faz Zavahir, wanted to provide rigorous but flexible training and education opportunities in a sector that needs to set high standards of treatment delivery and patient care.
I’m very pleased we are able to offer an entire suite of qualifications and courses from which learners can choose to meet their own training needs – all within one academy. Ensuring our qualifications reflect the latest HEE guidelines was vital, but we also want to ensure our qualifications and courses are open to those wanting to learn and train to a high standard. Our Level 5 and Level 7 qualifications are demanding, expecting high standards in clinical knowledge and skills, but they are also immensely rewarding in both personal and professional development. Only by developing qualifications and courses that offer competence based training will this sector see an improvement in standards of care and patient safety.
