Health and safety instructions like fire procedures, emergency exits, wearing mask and hand hygiene was given and adhered. Training was very informative and easily understood. The delivery was professional, interactive and fun. Questions were encouraged and answered in a well comprehensive way. Overall I really enjoyed the training and learned a lot especially during the practice session. The sessions were stimulating that I didn’t require a coffee to keep me awake. Thank you. Raquella Ancestor 2 days ago I really enjoyed this training and learnt a lot or knowledge. The assessor kept you involved throughout which made it easier to stay focused all the way through. The handbook we received is great for looking back on anything you need to know in the future. piotr pastuszak 3 days ago interesting,straight to the point without unneeded time waisting informations,every minute of this course well spent Pauline Palmer 3 days ago This training session was the best yet.

So how does the Care Certificate work?

There's two parts to the Care Certificate:-

• Training
• Demonstrating competence at work

We're here to help you with the training bit - our high impact classroom training course can be delivered by our experts at your place of work OR you can attend an open course

Our 'Care Certificate Training Classroom Course' delivers the knowledge care workers, healthcare assistants and social care workers need to help them towards achieving the Care Certificate.

This means that once we have provided the training your employer still needs to see evidence that you can practice what you have learnt in the workplace -

You will be issued with a Care Certificate workbook on the day of training and you will record knowledge gained on the assessments pages.

Your tutor will then provide you with a unique delegate number, validating the training you have received.

This book can then be taken with you into the workplace for employers to sign off once this knowledge has been demonstrated.

Then your employer applies for your certificate
