Social care workers in Wales can now learn Welsh for free thanks to the Camau online courses.
We’ve created the Camau courses in partnership with the National Centre for Learning Welsh especially for people working in social care.
It offers bitesize, flexible learning that focuses on the Welsh words and phrases workers are most likely to need when they’re communicating with the people they support.
It counts towards registered social care workers’ continuous professional development and everyone who completes it will receive a certificate.
There are two different courses available:
- The Mynediad (Entry) module is suitable for beginners and takes around 60 hours to complete, in three sections of 20 hours.
- The Sylfaen (Foundation) module builds on the Mynediad (Entry) level module and takes around 60 hours to complete, in three sections of 20 hours.
Sign-up for the Mynediad (Entry) course
You can find out more and sign-up for the Mynediad course on the Learn Welsh website.
There are two different versions of the course available, as there are slight differences to the Welsh spoken in north and south Wales.
Once you have created an account you can start the course immediately by going to 'My Learning' on dysgucymraeg.cymru.
