Course summary

As well as interesting course content, studying Health and Social Care helps develop the ability to: understand, analyse and evaluate information. The course also builds communication, research and report-writing skills. A Health and Social Care qualification will not only enable access to Higher Education courses ranging from midwifery to social policy but also health sciences such as biomedical science. It will also provide a route to a large number of healthcare roles such as healthcare assistant, pathology laboratory assistant or youth worker. Under normal circumstances, you will be required to undertake a minimum of 100 hours of work experience in a wide variety of Health, Social Care and Early Years settings. There are coursework assignments and activities which need to be completed in a care setting. These form part of your portfolio. We will assist you with placements and organising voluntary work. We will follow government guidance and subsequent considerations from Pearson.
