Using this The Care Certificate course in Irish social care settings
This online social care course can support induction, refresher learning and training records for Irish care, support, education and community-service teams. It is useful where a provider wants a consistent awareness module before local policy instruction, supervision or practical skills training.
The course should be matched to the learner's role, the people they support, the service type, local procedures and any practical competence required. Online learning works best when it sits inside a wider training matrix and is followed up by managers or supervisors.
Phoenix STS presents this online course with the course information PDF and sample certificate available on this page, so employers can review the content and evidence before assigning it.
The Care Certificate is a UK framework. Irish care providers should treat this as structured care-sector learning rather than proof of an Irish statutory qualification.

Irish Legislative Context
UK Legislation Covered: The Care Certificate (developed by Skills for Care, Skills for Health, and Health Education England - England only)
Irish Equivalent: In Ireland, care workers in residential settings must comply with the Health Act 2007 and HIQA (Health Information and Quality Authority) National Standards for Residential Care Settings. HIQA inspects and regulates designated centres under the Health Act 2007 (Care and Welfare of Residents in Designated Centres for Older People) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 415 of 2013). There is no direct Irish equivalent of the Care Certificate.
Phoenix STS delivers training under both Irish and UK regulatory frameworks. If you require guidance on which legislation applies to your organisation, contact us on 043 334 9611.
