Questions about the Care Certificate

What is the Care Certificate?

The Care Certificate is the agreed set of standards that health and social care workers in England should meet at the start of their role. It was developed by Skills for Care, Skills for Health and Health Education England, and was updated in March 2025 to 16 standards.

Which 5Mins courses cover the Care Certificate standards?

The Care Certificate (England) course covers all 16 standards. The courses mapped to each standard on this page go deeper, from Duty of Care and Communication in Care to Safeguarding Adults, Basic Life Support, Infection Control and Autism Awareness.

Does completing these courses award the Care Certificate?

No. The employer awards the Care Certificate once a worker has shown their knowledge and been observed in practice. The courses cover the knowledge behind each standard, and 5Mins gives you certificates and up-to-date training records for every member of staff.

What changed in the 2025 update?

Standard 4 now covers equality, diversity, inclusion and human rights, mental capacity moved into Standard 5, Standard 9 now covers mental health and dementia, and a new Standard 16 covers awareness of learning disability and autism.
