The Care Certificate (underpinning knowledge)

Overview

Each e-learning course in the Care Academy Care Certificate training maps to the underpinning knowledge of the relevant Care Certificate standard.

Screening assessments allow individuals who can demonstrate prior knowledge to “fast track” their induction.

Assessment of performance can be recorded using the observation toolkit and separate assessments.

For workers who do not require the full induction, each standard can be made available individually.
