The Level 3 Cambridge Technical in Health and Social Care qualifications aim to develop students’ professional and personal skills through interaction with people who either work in the sector or require care or support, as well as theoretical knowledge and understanding to underpin their skills. Students will also consider the real impacts to people living with conditions or illnesses such as the social, financial and psychological impacts, not just the signs, symptoms and treatment of faceless conditions or illnesses. Students will learn about the legislation and guidance supporting health and social care.
