概要 This paper compares university and non-university curriculums for the certified care worker license in Japan. Most training facilities for certified care workers offer two-year programs, which is the minimum duration of study required by the National Regulations for Designated Training Facilities for Certified Social Workers and Certified CareWorkers. Recently, however, an increasing number of universities have begun providing a four-year education for certified care workers. We surveyed 20 four-year universities to compare their curriculums, especially in the area of social work education, with the curriculums of two-year care worker training programs. The universities provided twice as many hours of social work education as did the two-year training courses.
