Care Certificate

The 'Care Certificate' consists of 15 units, and replaces the current Induction Standards. As part of this new scheme, all care providers are required to keep accurate records of their staff's progress, and record evidence to show that staff have undergone and understand each unit.

NAPPI have launched 'Care Certificate Direct' as a tool to help you streamline this process by giving you a simple, central, and secure place to record this information and log evidence of understanding of each unit. The system allows learners to log in, write reflections, upload documents, and engage with assessors for each unit to ensure they meet the criteria.

Care Certificate Direct is currently being trialled by a number of our clients and will be available to all in the near future. If you would like to be considered as a participant in the trial then please contact stephen@nappiuk.com
