Caring at Home

About the Caring at Home Certificate

Many care users need to be cared for in their own homes. In some circumstances this can prove challenging as the carer will not have access to certain facilities or a wider network of support. This course seeks to educate carers about in-home care and help them to understand the regulations and processes that are in order surrounding practice.

Altogether there are six modules to complete. During these engaging and educational units, students will evaluate the numerous processes involved in home care.
