Care Certificate Training

This course introduces the knowledge behind the Care Certificate standards developed by Skills for Care, Health Education England (now NHS England) and Skills for Health, from duty of care and person-centred practice to safeguarding, infection control and handling information. The Care Certificate is awarded by your employer after you have been assessed as competent in the workplace, so this course covers knowledge only. It is awareness training and does not replace practical training, competency assessment or your organisation's policies and procedures.
