Pitched as a first step into health and social care work, this Certificate builds the knowledge, skills and professional competence needed to support people effectively across care settings. Person-centred care, communication, safeguarding, and infection prevention and control form the practical core of the course.
Learners also work through the ethical, legal and day-to-day responsibilities involved in supporting individuals in care, with an emphasis throughout on protecting dignity, independence and wellbeing rather than treating care as a purely procedural task. The course is designed to be accessible to candidates without a full academic background: a Recognition of Prior Learning route, including an interview with IDEA-selected field experts, can substitute for missing formal qualifications.
Worth 30 ECTS at MQF Level 5, the certificate runs full-time over about six months or part-time over six to eight. Standard entry is an MQF Level 4 qualification in Care or a related field, plus English at MQF Level 3.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: An MQF Level 4 qualification (one A-Level or equivalent) in Care or a related field, plus English at MQF Level 3. Without the formal qualification, a Recognition of Prior Learning route with an expert-panel interview may apply.
