What the college says

Are you someone who really cares about people? Are you resilient enough to help people through old age, illness, and disability, offering them dignity and respect? If the answer is yes, then a career in care may be for you! This course has been designed by our industry partners to give 16 to 19 year olds the technical knowledge, values, and experience needed to build hugely rewarding careers in the care sector. For the first time in the UK students who successfully complete this course will leave with the nationally recognised gold standard care qualification, the Care Certificate. You will also gain a Level Two and/or Level Three Care qualification. Our values-based recruitment process reflects the industry in selecting intelligent, compassionate, empathetic, and practically-minded young people who are suitable to care for and protect some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. Industry experts from the Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT), The Priory, LinCA, Walnut Care, Home from Home Care and Wispington House have designed an industry-led curriculum and provide unique levels of on-the-job training in care home settings.

Same qualification, different college. Entry requirements and how it is taught can differ a lot between them, which is the whole reason to compare.
