Qualification
ACT will start by offering a HOME BASE CARE QCTO QUALIFICATION, the
objective of this qualification is firstly to empower our carers who are often
overlooked because they do not have a formal qualification for a reputable
organisation. The course content will include both theory and practical components
and the practical component will be on-the-job training in a Facility.
​
ACT will offer a variety of skills programmes. The skills programs focus on
empowering learners to partake more actively in situations they are surrounded by
and to create confidence in their abilities to believe in themselves.
Our Programs
Basic Emergency First Aid
The first skills programme is Basic Emergency First Aid. This course will encourage learners to respond to emergencies (at home & work) and to provide efficient & immediate care to an ill or injured person during an emergency.
They use a limited range of equipment & operate within common & uncommon situations providing
a basic first aid care service that falls within a strictly regulated scope of work as defined by various regulatory requirements. Incumbents are also expected to continually remain updated on approved new practices and techniques. This allows for ACT the increase the scope of the skills programme.
Workplace Skills
The second skills programme is Workplace Skills. Workplace Skills are the skills needed for work, learning & life.
Workplace skills training is designed to support
apprentices who have experienced difficulties within a company working environment. The purpose of this skills programme is to prepare a learner to operate
as an employee and to complete daily tasks and activities at a workplace, especially in caring.
Workplace Skills are used in every industry and at different levels of complexity. They provide the foundation for learning other skills and enable
employees to adapt to modern working practices and workplace change.
Workplace Skills are the core skills you need to continue learning and to complete daily tasks
and activities at work. The benefit to the caring industry sector is to address inequalities and grow the economy, by enabling community re-skilling & upliftment of an individual or society by providing employable skills. The typical learners for the
skills programme are employed and unemployed South Africans, including those employed or previously employed in low-skilled occupations.
Workplace Skills is a concept that is growing in importance in training, literacy, and skills upgrading in the context of the workplace. “Essential Skills” was developed
ACT will strive to continuously add skills programmes to benefit learners and to
create a concept of life-long learning.
