Course introduction
Welcome to this video online Care Certificate course from ProTrainings Europe. This course is designed to meet the theory components of the care certificate that employers can use towards issuing the care certificate to employees. On completion of this course, you will just have to complete the work-based competency units and then your employer can issue you your Care Certificate. By completing this course you do not automatically get the care certificate, this is actually issued by your employer once they or your work based assessor, have signed off the work-based modules. Anyone can complete this course and you can even complete it before you have a job, as the course will produce an evidence-based learning statement, proving that you have completed all the units which employers should accept. There are 15 standards to complete on this course which are the same as the 15 standards on the care certificate. We have uploaded to the student resources section, the workbooks that go with each standard that Skills for Care have produced. Use these in conjunction with each module to ensure that you understand all the modules. Also in the download section, you will find many documents to download and links that are referred to in the course. This online course is available with a practical module locally to practice practical skills where required, like basic life support. We can also integrate classroom-based and online training, to expand the knowledge and we can also build training packages to suit any needs. Where required, we offer many regulated qualifications to support your training in the care sector and these can sometimes be integrated with your care certificate training package. We have a national network of over 1000 approved and monitored instructors and over 90 video online courses, ensuring that we can meet any training requirements. The way the course works is to watch some videos followed by knowledge review questions and you complete a test at the end. You can start and stop whenever you want and return to the course where you left off. You can watch again any video at any time during and after the course. The course can be viewed on any device, so you can start the course on your computer and finish it on your smartphone or tablet. On each page on the course, you can select text to read about the subject covered to support the video. You can also select to watch videos through our standard video player, direct from our site or by using YouTube player if you have any connection problems streaming the videos. This can be selected from underneath the video. Once you change settings, the whole course will be changed unless you change it again. Once you have passed the test you can print off your completion certificate or at any time from the home page of this course where you can also print off your Certified CPD statement and the evidence-based learning statement. With this course, there are many recourses and links to support your training and you can access these from the home page of this course. We are updating these recourses regularly, so have a look to see new material.
