How is the Care Certificate assessed? 

Care Certificate assessment involves both knowledge and skill-based criteria. Methods of assessing the Care Certificate can include:

• Using the Care Certificate Workbooks
• Observation
• Discussion
• Group exercises
• Simulation
• Naturally-occurring evidence generated as part of the individual’s day-to-day work
• Computer-based assessment and e-learning

Assessors are encouraged to use a holistic approach so that evidence for several criteria can be gathered during a single visit, observation or discussion.
