The Care Certificate Training

The Care Certificate Training

The 3-Day Care Certificate Training is a key component for all new staff working in a care environment. It replaces the common induction standard previously in place. This course will ensure knowledge competency across all 15 subjects. 

We will deliver training for the 15 standards over 4 full days, including practical sessions for Safer People Handling and Basic Life Support.

Each person will create their own evidence for each standard that meets the required level. Our trainers will assess this evidence to ensure they are ready for workplace assessment and observation.

Alternative:  Online Care Certificate-Full Package – self study.

Each person will complete the knowledge sections of each care certificate workbook during the course.

Every participant must be assessed on the job as per the guidelines set out in the care certificate by Skills for Care.

A good level of literacy is essential for everyone to complete this care certificate training course.

PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to provide full sign off apart from on standard 12 – Basic Life Support. The Care Certificate is designed so that staff are observed ON THE JOB – We can prepare your staff with the knowledge competency and skills to become workplace ready but the rest is down to your own internal assessment and observations. Any training provider claiming to be able to provide full competency and observation sign off is not being honest with you!
