Care Certificate Training

The Care Certificate was developed as part of the Cavendish Review work, by Skills for Care, Health Education England and Skills for Health and it applies across Health and Social Care.  It links to Occupational Standards and units in qualifications and it covers what is required to be caring, giving workers a good basis from which they can develop their knowledge and skills.

The Care Certificate is designed not only for new staff but also for existing staff wishing to refresh their skills and knowledge.

There are 15 Standards listed in the Care Certificate and each standard must be completed in order for completion of the certificate.

Here at the Willow Centre, we have developed a series of courses aimed at people who need help in completing their Care Certificate training and for staff members wishing to upskill to help assess colleagues in their workplace.  The courses include:

• Intensive Course – for people wishing to complete their Certificate workbooks in a short period of time.
• Bite Sized Modules – for people who would like to complete their workbooks in small and manageable sections.
• Assessors Course – for people wishing to learn how to become a Care Certificate Assessor.
