Our Certificate in Preparing to Work in Adult Social Care course has been designed and created to provide students with a more in depth knowledge of this subject area.
Students can expect to learn more about a number of aspects including communication (verbal and non-verbal) and the different styles that can be used. Learners will also explore legislation and standards related to the social care industry (including the Human Rights Act 1988). Other areas you can expect to learn about include abuse and neglect, The Care Quality Commission (CQC), responding to complaints, risk assessment, hazard analysis, confidentiality and much more!

Students will have the opportunity to develop their theoretical understanding in relation to their practical experience. Learners will be required to study nine modules, each exploring a different aspect of working in adult social care. Throughout the programme, learners will receive guidance and support from tutors, available via mail or email, so there is no need to feel isolated during your studies.
