About this course
The Skills Network's Care Certificate resources are ideal to ensure all new and existing health and social care staff develop the knowledge and skills needed to meet the new standards. The Care Certificate was introduced nationally in March 2015 and has replaced and amalgamated the National Minimum Training Standards and the Common Induction Standards.
Carers from different sectors, including healthcare support workers and adult social care workers, will benefit from the knowledge, skills and confidence they develop as a result of completing the course.
