## What your assigned requirement may ask for [#what-your-assigned-requirement-may-ask-for]

* A Public Health Ontario certificate showing your name
* The completed course or module title
* The completion date
* All required certificates when the assignment names more than one course

Download the certificate from the learning system after completing the
required modules and assessment. A screenshot of course progress may not show
successful completion.

## Current guidance [#current-guidance]

Public Health Ontario's current **IPAC for Health Care Workers** course contains
one overview module, three core modules, and at least one setting-specific
module. A certificate is available after completing those modules and scoring
at least 80% on the final graded quiz. The course is intended for health care
workers across settings and replaced the previous Core Competencies course.

Your program may name a particular setting module or continue to accept a
previous certificate. Confirm before repeating training.

## CareCard validity [#carecard-validity]

CareCard's current catalogue default keeps the certificate without an expiry
date. A program may require a current course version, a particular module, or
refresher training. The assigned requirement controls.
