Skills Competency Assessment
About this Unit
At Premium Health, we are all about competency. We recognise that while online modules are a valuable source of knowledge, they often fall short in practical skill development and competency. Nurses don’t learn to perform practical skills and complex care interventions by watching videos or doing online modules; and neither should Support Workers.
Our competency assessment workshops are perfect for anyone who has completed online learning and is seeking the opportunity to put their theory into practice.
Our nurse educators, qualified in assessment, will help to ensure your staff are confident and competent to deliver High Intensity Support, leaving you audit ready. If you would like to know more, please contact us today.

| Delivery Mode | You can choose from two types of competency assessments. The first option is a face-to-face assessment where you will meet with an assessor in person. The second option is a live virtual classroom assessment, which allows you to complete the assessment online in a live session with an assessor. Both options are designed to evaluate your skills and knowledge effectively. |
| Learning Objectives | These workshops provide students with the opportunity to practice their skills in a hands-on environment and be assessed by a qualified nurse educator, certified in assessment.
