Description

Course aims

The Mandatory Training Group’s online Mandatory Training for Care Assistants eLearning package helps care home staff to meet the UK statutory requirements. The Mandatory Training Group is committed to keeping up to date with changes in relevant UK legislation, national directives and requirements on the mandatory training program to ensure that it reflects changing legal, risk and service requirements.

To that end, our Mandatory Training for Care Assistants modules are guided by the following:

  • Standards set by Skills for Care, Health Education England and Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF)
  • The Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidance for health and social care support workers
  • National guidance issued for locum care agencies and care recruitment agencies.

Learning outcomes

The UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) sets out 11 statutory and mandatory training topics for all staff working in health and social care settings. The CSTF includes nationally agreed learning outcomes and training delivery standards across all healthcare and social care settings.

The Mandatory Training Group have worked with a range of subject matter experts to develop high quality, statutory and mandatory e-learning training sessions, which address all the knowledge outcomes at level 1 and 2 and at level 3, where appropriate for e-learning.

These statutory and mandatory training courses sessions are suitable for all health and social care staff working across the various Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated organisations, including NHS and private hospitals, mental health, care homes and domiciliary care providers.

It is the responsibility of individual health and social care employer organisations to ensure that their workforce complete the appropriate training to comply with their statutory and mandatory requirements. It is also an employer’s responsibility to determine the best mode of delivering the training, whether that is face-to-face, e-learning or a blended approach. The CSTF provides further guidance on this.

This online Mandatory Training for Care Assistants courses package meets the requirements of CQC regulated health and social care organisations.

Ross asked:

So once I complete the care certificate course I will then be qualified health care assistant? Correct and be able to work anywhere?

Answer:

Good morning Ross, Thank you for your message. Please note that this course does not qualify you to be a Health Care Assistant. Please note that this is refresher mandatory for those already in the field. We recommend that those who are new to health and social care sectors should complete the Care Certificate, rather than other refresher mandatory training packages.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
