Care Certificate Course

Everyone who works in health or social care must know how to keep people safe and meet their needs. The Care Certificate is a nationally agreed set of standards that detail the learning outcomes and requirements that health and social care support workers are expected to be trained in before they can work unsupervised. It is made up of fifteen standards that equip these workers with the skills and knowledge they need to perform their role and deliver suitable care. The Care Certificate ensures that all health and social care professionals have a similar set of introductory skills, behaviours and knowledge, that they can provide high-quality and compassionate care and support, and that they understand their role in their particular workplace setting. This online course provides you with the knowledge component needed to complete the Care Certificate. You will learn about the theory and skills that you need to demonstrate when you are being assessed for the Care Certificate, and will learn how to deliver high-quality, person-centred care. Please note: this course does not provide you with the Care Certificate, as this requires a practical assessment to be made in your workplace setting, and by a suitable assessor.
