Do I still have to do the Care Certificate if I have a health and social care diploma or NVQ?

This will depend on your employer and their policy on induction and training, however, very often the assessment criteria for an NVQ can be mapped to that of the Care Certificate. Your employer will need to satisfy themselves that you are competent in all of the Care Certificate standards and may require you to go through the Care Certificate self-assessment tool to identify any gaps in your knowledge.
