Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate for learners
Empower yourself with the knowledge and skills needed to excel
The new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate, developed by the Department of Health and Social Care in collaboration with Skills for Care, is an accredited qualification designed to equip existing and new caregivers with the skills and knowledge required to deliver quality care.
With this new qualification you can:
- Enhance your skills and knowledge
Building on the standards of the existing Care Certificate, the Level 2 qualification will equip you with the foundational skills and knowledge essential for providing high quality care.

Unlike the existing Care Certificate, this qualification is accredited and nationally recognised, so you won’t have to repeat training when you move jobs.
- Unlock further training opportunities
Take your first step on the Care Workforce Pathway, designed to provide adult social care professionals with a recognised qualification pathway to develop in their careers.
- Make a positive impact
By developing your skills and confidence, you’ll be able to provide the very best quality of care, positively impacting those who rely on your support.
