Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Dementia Care (RQF)

The Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Dementia Care is aimed at developing the learner’s knowledge and understanding of what dementia is and how to support individuals with dementia whilst learning to understand different theoretical models as well as different types of dementia.

Throughout this course learners will study the role of a carer in the support and care of individuals with dementia and examine aspects such as the administration of medication to individuals using a person-centred approach.
