The Care Certificate (Online)
Overview
This course is a great introduction to learning the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide safe and compassionate care. It's perfect for those starting work as healthcare assistants, care support workers, assistant practitioners or anyone working in the health and social care setting.
The course is delivered via e-learning, webinars or blended learning and by a CPD accredited and Skills for Care endorsed training provider.
This course is for anyone that works in health and social care, including Health Care Assistants, Assistant Practitioners, Care Support Workers and those giving support to clinical roles in the NHS where there is any direct contact with patients.
It’s designed for new staff but it is also a useful refresher for existing staff. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) expects all health and social care providers to provide the Care Certificate course to their staff.
This course is FREE for adults aged between 19 and 23 who have a full Level 2 qualification (or higher), and adults aged 24 and over irrespective of prior attainment level, if they are unemployed and in receipt of qualifying benefits, or are employed but earn less than £25,750 per year.
This course costs £25 for adults aged between 19 and 23 who have a full Level 2 qualification (or higher), and adults aged 24 and over irrespective of prior attainment level, if they are employed and earn more than £25,750 per year, or are unemployed but not in receipt of benefits.
The course cannot be funded for adults aged between 19 and 23 with a prior attainment level less than a full Level 2 qualification, therefore a fee of £50 is payable.
