Description
Are you after work that actually matters to someone? If so, our healthcare assistant course gets you ready for it. And there are plenty of jobs going. Around 96,000 care posts in England sit empty, with pay that official figures put between £25,000 and £27,000.
The work is personal care, observations, hygiene and keeping records straight. Our healthcare assistant course online covers it, from the UK healthcare system through to infection control. You pick up the medical jargon too, so you stop nodding along.
None of that needs a background in care. Healthcare assistants work on wards, in care homes and in people's houses. The skills of a healthcare assistant are the same in all three. Learn them here and your employer handles the rest.
Healthcare Assistant Course Features:
- 100% online learning
- Free CPD-certified digital certificate
- Optional printed certificate
- Lifetime course access
- Free assessment re-takes
- Study around shift patterns
- Covers infection control, hygiene and mobility
- Includes NHS records and patient confidentiality
- Written for newcomers to health and social care
What Makes Our Programme Different
One thing to be clear about before you buy. New care staff are expected to work through the Care Certificate. That is 15 standards, from your own role to infection prevention. It cannot be finished online, because an assessor has to watch you do the job. Ours is a CPD course, so it carries the knowledge and your employer handles the observed part. And healthcare assistant skills and qualities get judged on the floor anyway. So turn up knowing those standards and you are not meeting them for the first time on shift.Healthcare Assistant Course Learning Outcomes

Assessment Method
You'll take a short quiz after each part of the course. Get 60% and you move on. Don't stress if you miss it the first time, because you can retry as many times as you want.How Long Does the Healthcare Assistant Course Take to Learn?
Training for health care assistant work usually happens around a job, so this one does too. A few evenings covers it. Come back to the infection control part before an interview, because that is the bit employers ask about.Recommended Renewal
Two years, though guidance in care moves faster than that. Infection control rules get rewritten after every serious outbreak, so that is the section to reread. Not the whole course. The certificate itself never expires.Key Takeaways from This Training
