Become a Certified Dementia Caregiver: Learn Dementia Care, Alzheimer Support, Prevention, Career Growth, Family Help
Have you ever felt unprepared, underinformed, or overwhelmed while supporting someone living with dementia?
In today's world, dementia is one of the most pressing healthcare challenges—impacting millions of individuals, families, and caregivers across the UK and globally. Despite the rising number of dementia diagnoses, many professionals and family caregivers lack the essential training needed to offer confident, compassionate, and effective dementia care.
The lack of understanding around dementia, especially conditions like Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, leads to misdiagnoses, unsafe care practices, and emotional exhaustion for both carers and those living with dementia. Even well-meaning caregivers can unintentionally cause harm without the right tools, frameworks, or support—especially in managing behavioural challenges or ensuring quality communication.
That’s where this course comes in.
The Solution: Advanced Diploma in Dementia Care – Fully Accredited
This comprehensive course empowers you to master the full spectrum of dementia care. Whether you're a healthcare professional, caregiver, or aspiring dementia care specialist, this CPD-accredited course offers all the tools you need to provide expert-level support across all stages and types of dementia.
You’ll explore advanced techniques, person-centred strategies, and real-life case studies—all grounded in the latest research and best practices. From Alzheimer’s to rare dementias, from communication barriers to social engagement, you’ll become fluent in delivering professional, ethical, and empathetic dementia care.
Section 1: Foundations of Dementia Awareness and Classification
At the beginning of your dementia care journey, it's vital to build a clear understanding of what dementia is—and what it isn’t. You'll start by comprehending dementia, learning how memory, cognition, and behaviour change over time. After that, you’ll discover common conditions that mimic dementia symptoms, which are frequently misdiagnosed.
Throughout this section, you’ll explore the different types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and mixed dementia—each requiring different approaches to dementia care. This foundational section sets the stage for becoming a knowledgeable and confident dementia care provider.
Section 2: Uncommon Forms and Key Progression Stages of Dementia
After building a solid base, we expand into rarer forms of dementia. This includes Huntington’s disease, Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS), CADASIL, and Parkinson’s disease-related dementia. You’ll also examine the strong link between learning disabilities and early-onset dementia.
Throughout this section, you'll trace the progression of dementia from the early stage symptoms to late-stage manifestations. Understanding these stages helps you anticipate care needs and adapt your approach as dementia advances—an essential element in advanced dementia care.
Section 3: Principles of Dementia Care and Communication
In this section, we move from theory to practical implementation. You’ll learn how to create and apply person-centred care plans, essential for quality dementia care. After that, you’ll explore real-life examples of what effective person-centred dementia care looks like in various settings.
Throughout this section, you'll master communication strategies tailored to dementia, learning to overcome barriers with empathy and clarity. You’ll examine the role of non-verbal communication, tone, and shared understanding—especially important when caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or other dementia types that impair language.
Section 4: The Human-Centred Approach to Dementia Care
Throughout this section, you’ll shift your focus to seeing the person beyond the diagnosis. You’ll discover how to promote understanding and respect, a crucial part of inclusive dementia care.
We’ll also examine the significance of EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) in dementia care—ensuring your practice is legally compliant and emotionally supportive. You'll be introduced to a clear framework of dementia care principles and learn how to integrate them into personalised care plans that honour each individual’s unique history, identity, and needs.
Section 5: Managing Behavioural Challenges and Enhancing Well-being
By this stage, you’ll be ready to tackle one of the most complex aspects of dementia care: managing challenging behaviours. From mood changes to aggression, you’ll uncover the root causes of behavioural symptoms in dementia—including Alzheimer’s.
You'll learn both non-medication interventions and pharmacological approaches, understanding when to reassure, redirect, or escalate care. You'll gain confidence in reducing agitation, handling resistance, and protecting both the individual and the care team.
After that, we’ll explore how social interaction, exercise, and daily engagement promote well-being for people living with dementia. You’ll learn how to design safe, enjoyable activities and exercise plans that improve quality of life while enhancing emotional and cognitive health.

Understand dementia from clinical, emotional, and ethical perspectives.
