Care Certificate Course for Corserv Online

The Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that define the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of specific job roles in the health and social care sectors.

Description

The Care Certificate is made up of the 15 minimum standards that should be covered if you are 'new to care' and should form part of a robust induction programme.

It was developed jointly by Skills for Care, Health Education England and Skills for Health.

The standards

  • Understand your role

What is the Main Aim of the Course?

Learners will be expected to complete the Care Certificate if you’re new to care, employed as an adult social care worker or, providing direct care in a residential or nursing home, a hospice or are a home care worker.

You can also complete the Care Certificate if you’re working in a non-care working role, for example if you work as a cook or a maintenance person.

What Next?

If you are wanting to book a place on our Care Certificate, just click on the Book Now and follow the instructions. 

You’ll be assessed on what you know and what you do to show you understand and can carry out the standards in your role.

Each standard must be completed and assessed before you can work un-supervised. This should happen at the beginning of your employment and can be done with a phased approach. Once each individual standard is met, you may be allowed to do the areas of work covered by that standard without direct supervision, while still needing supervision in other areas.

You can apply the knowledge from the Care Certificate towards existing qualifications and apprenticeships in the future, though periodic refreshers may be required.

Please keep your certificate safe and any other related documentation.
