Course summary

This new reformed BTEC Level 3 in Health and Social Care is on offer as a single or double award (the equivalent of 1 or 2 A levels respectively.) Students who take the single-block option will gain an Extended Certificate. Students taking the Double award gain a full Diploma (equivalent to two A levels). All qualifications are fully accredited for UCAS points and a large number of our students progress onto higher education. BTEC Nationals are practical, vocational qualifications, and the Health and SociaI Care programme is aimed at students who have a real desire to work in the NHS or affiliated services and care for others in careers as varied as health care assistants, physiotherapists or clinical psychologists.

Entry requirements

English and Maths at Grade 4. Students may also be already carrying out voluntary work in a health and social care setting.

How you'll be assessed

Each unit studied is awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction and the combined marks produce the final overall grade of Pass, Merit or Distinction or Distinction*. Assessment of BTEC Nationals is ongoing throughout the year, so from the outset, students will have a clear idea of their level of achievement, and this will guide and support careers’ advice, which is also ongoing throughout the course, and run on an individual basis.
