The Basic Caregiver Course is designed to equip aspiring and entry-level caregivers with the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to provide safe, compassionate, and effective care. This course introduces fundamental caregiving concepts such as personal care assistance, basic health monitoring, proper hygiene, nutrition support, mobility and transfer techniques, and infection control. Emphasis is placed on understanding the physical, emotional, and social needs of clients, including the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness.
Through a combination of guided lessons, practical demonstrations, and scenario-based activities, learners develop confidence in delivering day-to-day care while maintaining professionalism and empathy. The course also highlights ethical caregiving practices, effective communication with clients and families, and personal safety for caregivers. Upon completion, participants gain a solid foundation that prepares them for entry-level caregiving roles or further training in healthcare and support services.
