The Care Certificate

The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that health and social care workers should strive to adhere to in their daily life. It was developed so that all workers obtain the same introductory skills and knowledge to enable them to provide compassionate, safe, and high-quality care and support.

Care Certificate training is an essential part of any health or social care role. This course is appropriate for anyone new to the industry, currently employed as an adult social care worker or someone who provides direct care in a residential home, nursing home, hospice or in the patient’s own home.

It includes information about typical duties, personal development and working in a person-centred way, along with other systems for managing your ability to provide the best possible care across the fifteen modules.
