Care Certificate (Full Course)
The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that health and care professionals adhere to in their daily working life. Designed with the non-regulated workforce in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that health and care professionals have the same introductory skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high-quality care and support, in their own particular workplace setting.
The Care Certificate is designed for staff who are new to care, but it also provides opportunities for existing staff to update or improve their knowledge.
The Care Certificate consists of 15 standards that require both theoretical study and practical application within the learner’s place of work.
This programme of e-learning has been developed to support the theoretical component of each standard of the Care Certificate.
