About the Course

This qualification aims to assist you to develop knowledge and understanding of the principles of caring for those with dementia. It covers areas such as person-centred care, the influence of positive communication methods, issues relating to the use of medication for those with dementia and the importance of providing appropriate activities. The qualification doesn’t infer competence in the work role but can be used to support the underpinning knowledge and understanding needed for those working in or towards a dementia care role.

This qualification is useful for anyone who would like to develop an understanding of dementia care for use in either work or a personal capacity. These may be individuals who wish to progress towards further qualifications or individuals who wish to study this programme to complement other programmes (e.g., health and social care, children’s care, learning and development, voluntary and community work).

You can enrol on our FREE distance learning courses from the comfort of your own home, with all workbooks and assessments available online with the help of your tutor who will be assigned to support you throughout your training. All you’ll need is a computer (laptop or PC, Windows, or Mac), tablet and access to the internet.
