About the induction course
The Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that define the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of specific job roles in the health and social care sectors.
It outlines the minimum standards that should be covered if you are 'new to care' and should form part of a robust induction programme. This induction course compiles all the necessary courses into one reduced cost induction pack.
We recommend that a new fulltime employee should complete the Care Certificate within 12 weeks of starting their new role. Skills for Care suggest that experience from pilot sites demonstrates this is feasible for new fulltime staff.
Although the Care Certificate is designed for new staff, it also offers opportunities for existing staff to refresh or improve their knowledge and skills.
After this course you will be able to:
- Begin the career journey for those new to care
- Operate within the foundation for health and adult social care integration
- Prove that the requirements of the Care Certificate have been properly achieved
- Be able to issue a Care Certificate to the person who has completed it.

The Care Certificate
All new health and social care workers should be inducted according to the Care Certificate framework. This replaces the Common Induction Standards and National Minimum Training Standards.
Social Care TV have a wide range of training that satisfies the requirements of the Care Certificate. Furthermore, our training covers, at the same time, important aspects of further vocational training.
The employer issues the actual Care Certificate itself based upon being able to prove that the requirements of the Care Certificate have been properly achieved. Social Care TV training assists you to do this.
