BTEC Registered Care Managers Award

Registered Care Managers Award

Helping care workers achieve national standards

Introduction

The programme incorporates e-Learning with a mentor, a residential workshop, an assessment centre and business references to take learners through the qualification to achieve the Registered Care Manager Award - a national target that care centre managers need to achieve as a licence to practice.

The assessment method uses as technique called the Professional Discussion where assessors observe workplace competence.

Course Structure / Assessment

The Registered Care Managers Award covers four core Units:

Unit 1: Diversity of People (Care Unit)
Unit 2: Managing a Service (Care Unit)
Unit 3: Managing Finance
Unit 4: Managing People

Learners then have to complete four additional Units where they choose an elective subject. For instance for Unit 6 learners can choose to complete one of the following electives:

Develop Teams and Individuals to Enhance Performance
Create, Maintain and Develop Working Environment
Select Personnel for Activities

Learners will be assigned two dedicated Assessors, one for Care and the other for the Management elements of the programme. Learners will be visited during the programme to assess their performance. The programme can typically take 18 months to complete.

Learning Materials

e-assessment-4u partners with AdVal KeyKnowledge to make part of the learning available using e-Learning.

The materials are an electronic resource to support the management elements of the Registered Care Manager Award . The e-Learning is mapped to the qualification and uses video scenarios, interactive questions, case studies and exercises.

A residential workshop is offered throughout the country to cohorts of 8 or more to cover the care elements of the programme.
