By directing your staff members to Careskills Academy you are taking a stand for quality and accountability. You are letting prospective clients know that you take your responsibilities seriously, and that every member of your team who comes in contact with their loved one is properly trained. In that regard, we all share the same objective: to enhance the quality of health and social care services. Careskills Academy was founded and is run by care providers. We understand the challenges facing the social care sector and the importance of providing leading-edge training opportunities to those who need them the most. We strive to make our eLearning experience as agreeable as possible, but at the same time voluntarily place ourselves under the regulatory microscope. That way, you can be sure each and every course adheres to the highest standards of professional excellence.

Every journey starts with a first step, and our online care certificate course is just such a step for many interested in a career in health and social care services. This course equips the learner with a solid foundation in the basic principles of quality care and can be linked to a Level 2 Diploma in Care. (The nationally recognised entry-level qualification for those who wish to pursue a career in the care sector.) The Careskills Academy New Care Certificate encompasses 15 Care Certificate Standards. These are presented in a clear, concise, easy to understand manner that provides learners with the best chance to grasp the concepts and internalise the knowledge. The 15 standards cover everything from understanding the care giver's role, to safeguarding adults and children, basic life support, infection control and much more. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the learner is "ready to practice" upon successfully completing the course.
