Government Technology

The need has arisen for a formal qualification in telecare; to show competence and understanding, not only of the technology but also, the issues and needs of service users. Just as telecare itself is as much about dignity and independence as it is about equipment and services, this qualification is about supportive and perceptive interaction with users.
    
This valuable Level 2 qualification is validated by City & Guilds – the UK’s largest provider of vocational qualifications and one that is recognised and respected by employers throughout the UK.
    
People in a large variety of job roles would benefit from attending this course. If you work within a local authority, healthcare or in housing-related support, you’re likely to be involved in assistive technology and/or support planning or response.
    
This course can be used as an entrant-level qualification for new employees taking up roles as front-line support or floating support workers; it is an accreditation opportunity for Telecare teams or as a bolt-on qualification to existing and experienced staff that would benefit from additional learning in this area – or just desire accreditation for knowledge they already have.
