Support

The Association of Healthcare Trainers (AoHT) provides a Code of Ethics and Conditions of Membership to support high standards of professionalism within the healthcare training sector. All members are responsible for maintaining their competence, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and best practice, and conducting themselves in an ethical and professional manner.

Holding a teaching qualification, such as PTLLS, AET, or a Certificate in Education (Cert Ed), does not in itself demonstrate subject-specific competence. Trainers are responsible for maintaining the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to deliver the subjects they teach safely and effectively.

AoHT does not provide, accredit, endorse, or approve any training or courses delivered by its members.
