Who needs it
Everyone delivering hands-on care, usually during induction and refreshed thereafter. It covers the knowledge behind Care Certificate Standard 4, so it also suits staff working through their induction. Completion is recorded with the date taken and the date it is next due, so it appears correctly on your training matrix and can be evidenced at inspection.
What the learner receives
A certificate in their own name carrying the CPD Aligned seal, showing the completion date and the renewal date a year later, downloadable at any time. The record belongs to the learner, not just the employer — it travels with them rather than sitting in one provider's system.
