We’ve refreshed, updated and renamed our “Get to Grips with Understanding Welfare Benefits” course as “The Welfare Benefit System“—a name that better reflects its comprehensive approach to navigating the entire welfare benefits system. The new course has this month been CPD accredited to assure our usual high quality learning experience.

The Course now explains the migration to universal credit and how the legacy benefits have been incorporated into the 6 elements of Universal Credit.

Explore the complexities of the UK welfare benefits system, which remains intricate even after the introduction of Universal Credit and PIP in 2013—reforms intended to streamline the system.

Our concise training course provides a clear and practical introduction to all the welfare benefits still actively claimed—and often overlooked—by millions in the UK.

Designed and delivered for professionals supporting individuals in social welfare, “The Welfare Benefit System” equips you and your organisation with essential knowledge to confidently navigate this evolving landscape.

We tailor our delivery to your organisations needs, helping you to put all of the pieces of the jigsaw of the welfare benefits system together.
