The Beep General Duty Assistant certification checks whether you understand the day-to-day work of ward patient care — helping with activities of daily living, assisting a patient to move safely, and supporting nursing staff without stepping into clinical decision-making.
It also tests judgement in situations that come up on a real ward: what to do if a patient's IV site looks swollen, how to respond when a confused elderly patient tries to climb out of bed, and how to transfer a semi-conscious patient without causing a fall.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with anyone. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.

General Duty Assistant (Patient Care) certification FAQs
Is this the same as a nursing qualification?
No. This is a short knowledge assessment issued and assessed by Beep. It does not replace a statutory nursing licence or authorise clinical care.
How is this different from the Caregiver certification on Beep?
Caregiver focuses on home and elderly non-clinical support, while this certification is specific to basic ward patient-care routine in a hospital setting.
Is this Beep's own certification or an official qualification?
It is Beep's own assessment, not a licence or official qualification from any nursing council or hospital body.
