are Skills Courses - Care Learning Free, practical online courses for health and social care workers — covering the everyday skills that keep people safe, supported and treated with dignity?

No. Skills Courses - Care Learning is a separate provider offering free, practical online modules for health and social care workers. These short courses cover essential everyday skills like safeguarding, dignity, and safety, but they do not constitute the Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Months). The Care Manager Diploma is a distinct, Ofqual-regulated qualification (610/1537/4) accredited by OTHM, designed specifically for senior staff aiming for registered manager roles. While Care Learning courses are useful for foundational knowledge, they do not replace the Level 5 diploma required for CQC registration. You can use Care Learning for CPD, but you must complete the full Level 5 diploma to meet the regulatory standards for becoming a registered manager in adult social care.
