FuturU

We're another month closer to the launch of FuturU's Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate, subject to Ofqual approval. Here's a quick update on everything that's been going on behind the scenes since our last update in June: ✅ We, along with other awarding organisations, met with the DHSC on 11 July who advised that the funding previously announced will now go through a ministerial review – this is standard practice following the election of a new government - we expect to hear back following the review in the next six to eight weeks ✅ As part of our commitment to providing learners with the support they need to be successful throughout their learning journey, our team of learning experts has created an in-depth onboarding module ✅ We hosted two more introductory webinars, one for organisations and one for learners, all about the qualification FuturU is building.

It might be hard to believe, but we’re already halfway through 2024, and another month closer to the launch of FuturU’s Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate, subject to Ofqual approval. There’s been plenty going on behind the scenes here at FuturU HQ since our last update in May. Here’s a quick update on what we’ve been working on, and what’s to come next: ✅ We couldn’t be more excited to announce that all of our qualification’s online learning has now been built and has moved into the quality assurance phase. Huge kudos to our incredible team of experts who’ve worked so hard to create an extensive suite of immersive online learning.  ✅ We’ve introduced two new roles to the team delivering the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate. Lisa Hunt has taken on the new role of Curriculum Manager. And Noshaba Hayat has joined as our Learner Support Coordinator.  ✅ We’re hosting two more introductory webinars – one for learners on Thursday 4 July, and one for organisations on Thursday 18 July – all about the qualification we’re building and the latest information on launch and funding - register for a webinar here: https://lnkd.in/egZ-Gibt You can read the full update over on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eznUgFS4 #CareCertificate #Level2AdultSocialCareCertificate #ProfessionalDevelopment #HealthcareTraining #CareerGrowth #AdultSocialCare #InnovativeLearning

🫶 We're committed to supporting learners throughout their learning journey with us, however we can. And as we step closer to the launch of our Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate we'll be sharing plenty more information, on our blog and in our app, to guide learners through the qualification - from onboarding to assessment. Today we've shared a Care Certificate glossary, exploring some of the different words, phrases and acronyms learners might encounter to help them navigate through their learning journey 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6DnkH7Y #AdultSocialCare #CareCertificate #SocialCare #Upskilling #FuturU #CareWorkers

It's Carers Week! An annual campaign all about raising awareness of the challenges and rewards of being a carer, the massive contribution carers make and the resources and support available to them. This week, we especially want to acknowledge and thank the incredible care workers who're upskilling themselves with FuturU and working so hard to make a difference to the lives of others. You're the reason we do what we do. At FuturU, we're on a mission to support and upskill carers. Here's just a few of the ways we're doing that: 📚 Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate: Our team's working had to build a qualification that equips adult social care workers with the essential knowledge and skills to provide excellent care for adults who need support - learn more here: https://lnkd.in/emR4SMHh 🎁 Free online training: Carers have access to our library of more than 100 innovative and scenario-based courses - you can check out a few our team recommend in particular for unpaid carers here: https://lnkd.in/epG5YZaf 🤳 Flexible learning: Our learning is available anytime and anywhere, enabling learners to progress at their own pace - read Healthcare Assistant Renata's FuturU story so far: https://lnkd.in/em-dUQGn #CarersWeek #SocialCare #CareWorkers #Upskilling #FuturU

💡 One question we've heard a lot from learners considering the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate is how it compares to existing qualifications and training already out there. From the Care Certificate and Level 2 Diploma in Care through to apprenticeships, there are indeed a number of alternatives available. But there are some key differences between them and the new qualification. Here's just some of the benefits of the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate: 👉 The new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate is uniquely tailored for adult social care professionals, providing focused training unlike other broader Level 2 and 3 Diplomas 👉 This qualification has been extensively reviewed and updated by DHSC and Skills for Care, and covers essential topics like digital skills, infection prevention, and personal wellbeing, reflecting post-Covid-19 priorities 👉 It's an accredited qualification and nationally recognised, eliminating the need for retraining when changing jobs.
