The course is designed to provide students with a specialist work-related qualification in health and social care that is recognised by employers and universities. This course allows students to develop a wide-ranging theoretical education whilst also gaining valuable work experience in this demanding field. Furthermore, an essential part of the course looks at the growth and development of individuals and factors that can affect that. We will also be exploring how individuals with additional needs are supported within a health and social care setting. Can be taken alongside Applied Science for students wishing to go onto Paramedic Science, Physiotherapy, Midwifery and the Ambulance Service.
To access the Vocational Pathway you will have achieved 5 GCSES at grade 4, which needs to include either GCSE Maths or English (Literature or Language). Vocational courses at merit level can be included within the 5 grades required. Students choosing to study vocational courses can still study A-Level courses if they meet the entry requirements and indeed this is recommended for certain career pathways.
The Level 3 BTEC Certificate is equivalent to 1 A-Level and the Diploma is equivalent to two and will be completed over two years. There are 4 units for the certificate and 8 units studied over the two years which include: • Human Lifespan and Development – Examination • Working in Health and Social Care – Examination • Supporting individuals with additional needs – Internally Assessed • Promoting Health and Well Being – Internally Assessed
