The benefits of this Care Certificate course:
The Care Certificate is a requirement for all staff beginning their career in the care sector, ideally, it should be completed before starting work and must be completed within twelve weeks from the commencement of employment. This course is also suitable for existing staff to refresh or improve their knowledge.
Health Education England, Skills for Care, and Skills for Health made a number of recommendations which were agreed by the Department of Health Governance Assurance Board:
- The 15 standards should remain, subject to some amendments
- Individuals will need to complete all 15 standards to be awarded the Care Certificate
- The Certificate should be prioritised by employers for “new staff, new to care”
- 12 weeks will remain as the guidance timeframe for a full-time individual to complete the Care Certificate
- The minimum level of quality assurance of the Care Certificate, and the certification itself will be the responsibility of employers.
The cost of this course: £24.95 per person (+vat) – Payable to Protrainings
