CareLoop vs YourHippo
Switch to one platform that covers the Care Certificate, statutory mandatory training, AND your compliance, scheduling, comms and CQC reporting.
Where YourHippo is strong
YourHippo is a well-known training provider with a library of CPD courses for adult social care. It does training well — but everything else (compliance dashboards, visits, comms, incidents, shifts) lives in different tools.
Every Care Certificate standard, statutory training (Fire/Manual Handling/COSHH/RIDDOR/DoLS-MCA), clinical (eMAR/dementia/EOL/dysphagia) and awareness (Prevent/MS/MH/LD), all multi-language — for staff who learn better in their first language.
YourHippo tells you who completed a course. CareLoop tells you who completed it, whose DBS expires next month, whose moving-and-handling refresh is due, and which residents that affects. One traffic-light view.
Stop paying for an LMS, a rota, a visits scheduler and a comms tool separately. £150–£200/home/month covers everything, with one audit log inspectors can read.
“Replacing a standalone training platform on day one is the goal — broader catalogue, language support so Filipino and Polish carers actually retain it, and one place where course completions reconcile against compliance.”
From the CareLoop pilot brief · What multi-home groups tell us they need
Yes. We import a CSV of every staff-by-course completion (with dates and pass marks) on day one. Existing PDF certificates are linked to the new record. No staff has to redo any training.
You can — we ingest YourHippo completion exports nightly. But the buyers we talk to say the cleanest experience is one platform: training completion automatically updates the cert traffic-light, and learners see their full development path in one app.
Clone our course catalogue into your org and edit anything you need. Or upload your own course content as plain text or PDFs — we'll convert to the form-based format used by the LMS.
