Who is the course for?

This online Care Certificate (15 Standards) training package is available for all care workers, healthcare assistants and social care support workers:

• Who are new to the workplace or new to care (within the first 12 weeks)
• Existing staff requiring refresher training.

Designed with non-regulated workers in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that workers have the same induction – learning the same skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high-quality care and support.

The Care Certificate is the start of the career journey and is only one element of the training and education that will make them ready to practice within their specific sector.

Although the Care Certificate is designed for new staff, it also offers opportunities for existing staff to refresh or improve their knowledge. If you are inducting a new manager, visit our Manager Induction Standards page instead.

For CQC regulated providers, the Care Certificate is expected of care workers joining health and social care since April 2015.  The CQC Inspector Briefing highlights how they look for evidence in their inspections.

Our online Care Certificate – 15 standards training courses should be completed by all healthcare and social care staff. This includes voluntary staff and unpaid working in NHS and private hospitals. Locum doctors, locum allied health professionals, agency nurses and healthcare assistants can also complete these e-learning courses.
