How are you assessed
You are required to build a portfolio of evidence in the form of written statements and reflective accounts. You are required to have an assessor in your workplace to undertake observations of your work and sign off the competencies. However, this is kept by you and does not need to be submitted to us.
You must pass all the MCQ’s in each section in order to get a certificate.
***It is recommended you identify a mentor to guide you and provide you with support to complete your skills competencies. We recommend you allocate at least 26 weeks to complete competencies under supervision of a mentor. You will have access to the course material for 6months so that you can complete it at your own pace.
You are encouraged to work through the Care Certificate workbook prior to attending this course.
Self directed online learning which includes a series of online audio presentations with an MCQ and booklet.
Competency workbook which allows all delegates to record knowledge gained and assessments undertaken. This book can then be taken into the workplace for employers to sign off once this knowledge has been demonstrated.
One day live webinar
