Care Certificate Assessing
We provide professional, external Care Certificate assessing, delivered by qualified assessors who hold the full TAQA (Training, Assessment and Quality Assurance) qualification. Our service supports employers to meet Skills for Care expectations and statutory requirements, while ensuring staff receive a robust and valid assessment across all 16 Care Certificate standards.
If your organisation delivers the Skills for Care Care Certificate (updated in 2025) as part of staff induction or ongoing development, you need assessments carried out by qualified professionals who understand the standards and what counts as quality evidence in practice.
Our assessors are experienced health and social care professionals with strong frontline backgrounds. They carry out fair, supportive, and consistent assessments in real work settings. This approach ensures staff demonstrate competence with confidence and helps organisations maintain high standards of care, compliance, and workforce development.
