Care Certificate Course

The Care Certificate is a nationally agreed set of standards that detail the learning outcomes and
requirements that health and social care support workers are expected to be trained in before they can
work unsupervised. It is made up of fifteen standards that equip these workers with the skills and
knowledge they need to perform their role and deliver suitable car.

The Care Certificate ensures that all health and social care professionals have a similar set of
introductory skills, behaviours and knowledge, that they can provide high-quality and compassionate
care and support, and that they understand their role in their particular workplace setting.

This online course provides you with the knowledge component needed to complete the Care Certificate.
You will learn about the theory and skills that you need to demonstrate when you are being assessed for
the Care Certificate, and will learn how to deliver high-quality, person-centred care.

Please note: this course does not provide you with the Care Certificate, as this requires a practical
assessment to be made in your workplace setting, and by a suitable assessor.
