Achieve a Certificate in your first year of study then top up to the Extended Diploma in the second year. The Diploma gives you much more detail on the subject - it is the equivalent of a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma course, or three A-levels, and is a great route into university. If you have already achieved the Level 3 Certificate at another college, you can choose to top up to the Diploma with just one year of study. If you want a career in social care or to take a degree in social work, sociology, psychology, social sciences, social policy, nursing or other care-related courses, then this course is for you. We emphasize real-world experience for you through a work placement, so you will work one or two days per week in a variety of health and care settings in addition to your college lessons. Completing your work placement is a mandatory part of the course and is well regarded by universities and employers. You can choose from a range of health and social care settings (but not child care settings such as nurseries).
4 x GCSE's at C/4 or above, or a Level 2 Certificate / Extended Certificate or above in a relevant subject. You will have gained either English and/or math at GCSE C/4 or above or L2 Functional skills English and/or math
You will need to complete and achieve internally assessed assignments in each unit, as well as an external assessment (extended essay) set and marked by Cache.
