Care Work Foundations
Prepare for work in elderly and home care: person-centred care, safety, communication and the route to a recognised care qualification in your country.
Your Readiness Proof
A care-situation portfolio with five documented case scenarios, a communication role play assessed by your mentor and a personal route plan to a recognised care qualification.
What this course is — and is not
This course is an introduction. It does not replace the recognised care qualification required in your country, and it does not qualify you to perform medical or nursing procedures.
Who this is for
- People considering a career in care
- Carers trained abroad preparing for recognition
- Family carers who want structured knowledge
Better to start elsewhere
- Anyone expecting to work in care without the qualification required in their country — we show you the official route
What you will be able to do
- Apply person-centred care principles
- Support daily living activities safely and with dignity
- Communicate with clients, families and colleagues
- Recognise risks and when to escalate
- Find the recognised training route in your country
