Structure

HCA can be used in a number of ways:

  • as an induction programme, to confirm the competence and knowledge of newly appointed care assistants and standardise induction for all HCAs
  • as the basis of a training programme to encourage experienced care assistants to expand their knowledge and keep up to date in an ever-changing care environment
  • as a tool for those seeking an NVQ qualification

The programme is designed to be completely self-supporting, and it encourages the learner to seek out the answers to the various exercises themselves.  It can be used just as effectively to train individuals within the workplace, or multiple packs can be purchased for groups attending sessions for discussion and participation.  An in-house mentor encourages and supports the learner, and monitors the learners overall progress.
