FAQ

Common questions

Is the workbook completed alone or with my employer?
Both — you work through the standards independently, and your employer signs off your competency for each standard as part of your workplace induction.
How long does it take?
Most learners complete the Care Certificate within 6–12 weeks, depending on how it fits alongside your induction at work.
Is this the same as an NVQ?
No — the Care Certificate is an induction-level standard, not an NVQ. It is a strong foundation before progressing onto an NVQ Level 2 or 3 Diploma in Adult Care.
Do I need this if I already have care experience?
Many employers require the Care Certificate regardless of prior experience, as it provides a consistent, evidenced record of induction training.
