About This Qualification
The NCFE CACHE Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate helps people working in adult social care develop the knowledge, skills and practical competence needed to provide safe, effective and person-centred support.
In addition, learners develop their understanding across key areas of care practice and show how they apply this knowledge in the workplace. A Magpie Training assessor supports each learner and reviews both knowledge-based work and evidence of practical competence.

How You’ll Study
You will study primarily through Magpie Training’s Moodle e-learning platform. Moodle gives you access to learning resources, assessment activities, feedback and assessor support.
In addition, you can work through the qualification around your employment and other commitments. Learners who prefer a traditional approach can also complete a paper-based portfolio.
How You’ll Be Assessed
You will build a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate your understanding of the qualification content. For example, evidence may include observations, written assignments, structured tasks and questions and answers.
Your Magpie Training assessor will provide guidance and feedback throughout the programme. Once you have produced sufficient valid evidence, your assessor will confirm that you have met the qualification requirements.
Workplace Evidence & Practical Assessment
Your qualification must demonstrate both your knowledge and your ability to apply this safely and effectively within your adult social care role. Practical competence is evidenced through appropriate workplace assessment and supporting evidence gathered during your programme.
Where a Magpie Training assessor is able to attend, practical skills may be assessed through direct observation. Where distance makes assessor attendance impractical, appropriate workplace evidence and suitably completed expert witness testimony may be used where permitted by the qualification assessment requirements.
Your assessor will guide you on the evidence required and ensure that all evidence is valid, authentic, sufficient and relevant to the qualification criteria.
Studying from anywhere in the UK?
You do not need to be based near Magpie Training. Our regulated qualifications can be supported nationally through Moodle, regular assessor contact and planned workplace evidence.
