Launch your career with this complete professional caregiver training diploma. This course has been fully updated to align with global standards from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI). Instead of just looking at medical diagnoses, you will learn a person-centred care approach that puts the individual's rights, personal history, and choices first.
Get the practical skills you need to work in healthcare and home care. You will learn the legal and ethical rules for safeguarding and protecting client rights, while learning how to respect different cultures and backgrounds. The course covers daily essentials like communication skills, moving people safely, infection control protocols, food safety, and emergency response techniques. You will also learn how to promote general health and understand how the body and mind change with age.
A large part of this caregiver course focuses on dementia care. You will learn practical, proven ways to support people living with dementia and memory loss, focusing on their comfort and hidden emotional or physical needs. Finally, the course teaches you the basics of comforting end-of-life support for individuals dealing with serious injuries or terminal illness.
Whether you want to support a loved one at home or earn a caregiving qualification for a new job, this course gives you the up-to-date skills to provide high-quality, respectful care in any setting.
