When an adult requires care, either part-time, full-time or for a short period while they recover from illness or injury, they should always be treated with respect. Many healthcare professionals fully understand the correct methodology, and provide high-quality treatment, but fail to communicate.
Every service user requires a unique approach. Adult social care specialists must learn about their individual needs and preferences in order to provide the best care. This requires a person-centred approach and effective communication every step of the way.
The demand for skilled adult social care services is increasing year on year, so this is a desirable line of work for healthcare professionals. By completing this course, individuals will be equipped with more skills, a better understanding of their role, and accreditation that will support their career prospects.
Our Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate (RQF), regulated by OFQUAL and approved by Skills for Care, is a comprehensive training program and qualification designed to equip individuals with the essential skills and knowledge required for a successful career in adult social care.
This qualification provides a solid foundation for those entering the sector, but can also benefit more experienced professionals who want to ensure that they’re following the current best practices.
It’s important to note that the Adult Social Care Certificate will not replace the Care Certificate standards, but knowledge gained from new starter induction may be used towards gaining the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate via recognition of prior learning. Alternatively, this qualification can be designed in such a way to be blended into care employer induction programmes.

As adult social care is a broad industry, we cover an equally broad range of units. These can be added or removed based on your specific role.
All units are invaluable for adult social care workers, especially those who are planning on working in a number of roles throughout their career.

As a training course that is aimed at less experienced social care professionals, there are no dedicated units that focus on leadership. However, upon completion of this course, learners will be eligible for more advanced courses that do. This is ideal for anyone who wants to avoid the university route for their training, but still wants to achieve equivalent certification.
The course includes a combination of written assignments, practical assessments, and reflective practice journals to evaluate learners’ understanding and application of the course material.
The practice journals are an essential assessment method as they allow learners to demonstrate their understanding better than written assignments, as it shows they can assess situations in the moment and are aware of their own actions when applying what they’ve learned.
Assessment methods are designed to ensure learners can demonstrate their competencies in real-world care settings and follow a portfolio-based approach to evidence of achievement and competency.
Upon successful completion of the course, learners will be awarded the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate (RQF). With this in hand, they’ll have access to multiple roles within adult social care, and can progress their career from a solid base of understanding.
This course can be completed by any eligible direct care staff who are nineteen or older, making it an excellent choice for people early on in their care careers.
