Social Care qualifications via Care Academy announced

Published on July 12th, 2012

Not surprisingly, since we first announced that we were developing our technology to enable us to deliver online qualifications earlier this year, we have had a steady stream of enquiries from customers wanting updates on when it will be available.

We have been busy scoping and developing a product which we feel will deliver a solution that will far exceed even our initial expectations.

From the outset, we were keen to develop a solution that would ultimately help deliver a wide range of qualifications, combining the very best e-learning, e-assessment and e-support and administration. Whilst we planned to initially concentrate on developing a system that was capable of delivering knowledge-only qualifications, the bigger challenge was how we would build a platform which would allow us to extend this to include alternative forms of assessment such as observations and witness statements. The inclusion of multiple assessment methods will enable us to ensure the system supports a wider range of online qualifications. Working closely with our partner Skillsfirst, we intend to address this issue over the coming weeks and months to ensure we deliver an exceptional product.

In the short term, we are getting very close to launching our first qualification, the Level 2 Certificate in Preparing to Work in Adult Social Care, details of which can be found on the Skillsfirst website.
