Care Certificate

All staff must be fully inducted into the care sector to enable them to understand their roles and responsibilities and ensure services are compliant with the inspectorate. A person without this competence will remain under-confident, may leave the job or worse, may inadvertently cause someone harm.
HCPA’s Care CertificatePLUS programme provides the knowledge of Skills for Care’s ‘Care Certificate‘, plus an introductory qualification in Health and Social Care.
Delivered over 5 days, either at HCPA Campus or virtually with a live tutor, delegates have the opportunity to personalise their learning, ask questions, and gain insights from an experienced Care professional.
Plus, delegates can attend up to 2 additional days at HCPA Campus to learn the practical skills of Moving & Positioning and/or Basic Life Support and IPC essentials.

Delegates will be supported throughout to complete workbooks to evidence their knowledge, assessed by qualified HCPA assessors, to enable competencies to be observed by a competent person within the organisation.
When the staff member has demonstrated that they are competent in each of the standards, a record of the competency checks should be recorded, and kept in the organisation to present to inspectors, or any other stakeholders, when required. A full Care Certificate can then be made from the Skills for Care website
