Overview

Child Immunisation - Online Training Course - Level 3 - CPDUK Accredited.

Welcome to our online Childhood Immunisation training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers.

Childhood immunisation is a highly successful public health intervention that protects individuals across their life course. Also, child immunisations help to save thousands of lives across the world every year. To ensure ongoing public confidence in vaccines and high vaccine uptake, all those who advise on and/or administer immunisations must be confident, knowledgeable and up to date. This e-learning course was designed in line with the recommendations made in the Public Health England (PHE) National Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training.

Our online Childhood Immunisation training course comprehensively covers the core areas of immunisation with which healthcare practitioners must be familiar with to deliver immunisations safely and effectively. Healthcare practitioners must also be able to answer commonly asked questions confidently and accurately. This module covers the UK current immunisation schedule for children, including recent changes, special considerations, and contraindications to immunisations and what to do about them.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
