Every day, thousands of care assistants work tirelessly without the formal recognition they deserve. Are you one of them? Without the right qualifications, opportunities for promotion, higher pay, or leadership roles can remain out of reach. This dual-certified programme ensures your hard work translates into a qualification employers value — and the career you’ve been aiming for doesn’t have to wait any longer
Two Recognised Qualifications — One Powerful Career Boost
This unique course combines a regulated qualification with a QLS-endorsed certificate, giving you the best of both worlds:strong compliance with industry standards and professional credibility that employers respect.
Regulated Qualification:
ATHE Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (RQF)
This Ofqual-regulated qualification demonstrates your competence, knowledge, and understanding of essential care principles — from safeguarding and communication to legislation, ethics, and professional development.
It’s widely recognised by employers, healthcare organisations, and educational institutions across the UK.
QLS-Endorsed Qualification:
Certificate in Care Certificate Preparation (QLS)

Why QLS Endorsement Matters
In today’s competitive care sector, simply holding a qualification isn’t always enough.
A QLS endorsement gives your learning an added layer of credibility — showing employers that your training has been independently reviewed and meets the same high standards of regulated education.
It’s a mark of trust and quality that enhances your CV, reassures employers, and makes your professional development truly stand out.
