Course contents

This training course is broken down into 2 sections

  1. 1
    Personal Development Plan
  2. 2
    Learning and Development

Section 1

The only way that we can start moving towards our goals is if we know which direction we’re heading in and how far we have to go. So, your first step is to create a plan of action, known as a Personal Development Plan, or PDP. This section will help you understand how to identify gaps in your knowledge, skills, and experience; create your goals and decide how long you will spend on them; and will allow you, and your employer, to track your progress over time.

Section 2

In this section, we want to help you help yourself. Self-learning is a vital tool for personal development but knowing how to do it effectively isn’t always obvious. So, we’re going to look at different styles of learning, helping you find one which works best for you.

About this course

Personal development is a professional process that begins at work with the clarification of your objectives and targets and is accomplished by achieving goals that you have set yourself in order to make the most of your potential.

Standard 2 of the Care Certificate states carers must:

  • Agree on a personal development plan with their employer
  • Develop their knowledge, skills and understanding

The easiest way to keep track of the development of an employee is through a Personal Development Plan (PDP) – an action plan that helps you organise, identify learning & development needs to help you accomplish day-to-day tasks more efficiently, and then tracks the progress.

Most PDPs cover a 12 month period – so it is best practice to assess your goals annually.

This course works alongside our 14 other awareness courses that make up the Care Certificate Standards.

You can access our free worksheet that has been designed to accompany our online Personal Development in Care Training course. In each section, there is a box for you to
tick when you have watched the relevant slide in our course. You can also take notes that will help you during your practical assessment at work.

This course equips learners with the knowledge that’s required to be put into practice in the workplace, whereby they can do the ‘practical’ part of their training, followed by having the Care Certificate supplied to them by their management as they meet the required standards. These courses provide part of training but practical training is still required to obtain the care certificate.
