To provide the best care for your patients, you must know how to move and handle them correctly. If an incorrect process is taken and a patient is harmed, you don’t want any legal proceedings. In order to do their jobs safely, employees who work with people who have to be moved or handled in the course of their duties should know what they are doing. Students will learn how to move and handle people safely, as well as how moving and lifting people could pose a danger to them and their service users. This online training course discusses both the employer and employee responsibilities when it comes to moving and handling.
A healthcare worker who handles patients, whether in a care home, nursing home, hospice, day care centre, primary care centre, or at home, will benefit from this online course. The term ‘healthcare worker’ includes both paid and unpaid employees.

While it is recommended that you have qualifications before pursuing a career in care, it is possible to work as a carer while learning on the role. However, you will be expected to obtain your care certificate which means that your role might be limited until you have completed the certificate. This is to ensure that you understand the fundamentals of care, what is expected and how to deliver the right level of care to those who need it.
You can either choose to undertake the mandatory training in your own time before applying for roles or you can undertake the training on the job. If you opt for the latter, then you will need to be paid for mandatory training as it will be considered a part of the role and will need to be completed during work time or even in your own time, for which you will also be paid.
Yes. Once you begin your role as a care worker, even if you have an NVQ you will still be required to do the care certificate. The care certificate will assess your skills, knowledge and behaviours, ensuring that you are able to provide the right level of care as part of the services you provide. Therefore, this will cover the likes of caring with privacy and dignity, awareness of mental health, safeguarding, communication and infection control, all of which are hugely important in the care sector.
While you do not need qualifications such as GCSE’s or A Levels to work in care, it is recommended that you have both Level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care. These qualifications will ensure that you have the relevant skills and knowledge that ensure you are qualified to carry out the role and understand the specifics of what is needed to provide a high level of care for patients.
The care certificate will contain mandatory training because it covers a variety of standards that enable individuals to carry out their role competently. Therefore, there are many different types of mandatory training included in the certificate such as safeguarding children, health and safety,
Once you have obtained your care certificate, there is no requirement to undertake any further training in relation to the certificate. However, even though the certificate does not expire, it is recommended that you renew it every three years and so, the recommended renewal date can be found on your certificate. This will ensure that you refresh your knowledge and skills while keeping up to date with any changes in the sector.
The care certificate is a certificate that has to be obtained during the first 12 weeks of taking on your role. As a result, the care certificate takes 12 weeks to complete. However, the time it takes will depend on the amount of time you spend on the certificate, so the more time you dedicate to it, the faster you will obtain it.
For those who work in the care sector, mandatory training is vital as this will ensure that staff are fit to work in the sector. The care certificate can take around 12 weeks to complete while the health and safety awareness course will take around eight hours to complete.
The time it takes to get the care certificate can vary and this depends on the individual and the time they spend on the care certificate. However, the certificate has to be completed within 12 weeks of starting a role in the care sector which means that it can take as much as 12 weeks to complete.
A level 3 diploma in health and social care is the equivalent to A-level health social care. As a result, there will be a mixture of course work and exams that make up the qualification. As expected, this is a detailed qualification that requires dedication and commitment but with the right tutoring and understanding, it is a qualification that can be obtained easily.
The care certificate is a mandatory certificate that is applicable to all those who are starting a role in the health and social care sector. Therefore, the care certificate is made up of 15 modules that provide the basics of what is expected in the care industry and how to perform the role correctly. It is detailed enough that it does provide individuals with the knowledge required to help them pursue a career in care.
If you are looking to pursue a career in the care sector then mandatory training is a legal requirement. This is because it will provide you with the knowledge and insight that is required to carry out the role competently and confidently. It will also ensure that you have the ability to handle patients with ease and understand their needs and risks while caring for them.
