4.8 345 reviews Ash B 1 day ago I found the course very informative and realised that there were many things that had actually changed/updated. I have now been able to put this in to action within my role. Sophia Hodgson 1 day ago Attended a vaccination and immunisations training course. The course itself was very enjoyable as the trainers were very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I feel like the course was informative, especially for those very new to the subject. However, for a registered nurse I feel the course could have been more in-depth (i.e. training on specific vaccines, baby immunisations, etc). Whereas, I found it was quite general. Good for beginners. Overall, I felt that the training was enjoyable and the trainers were great.

Eunice Buzuzi 5 days ago I absolutely enjoyed this training. The trainer was very knowledgeable, professional, thorough and had a great sense of humour. This training is value for money. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a similar training. hayley Scott-Peter 6 days ago Signing up to the course was easy as was payment. On occasions help via email could have been a little more timely. I, plus 4 of my colleagues all had the same problem when completing the first course day and it’s tests. We were correct in 3 questions however you could not go forward until you put their wrong answer. This could not be explained by the instructor the 2nd day when we had to do the test again! Informative course just requires fine tuning.

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
